Gun Crazy USA: More guns, more carnage (Wisconsin edition)

Top headline:  WXRT

Bottom headline:  Wisconsin Public Radio

From WPR:

The Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort Educational Fund found that 830 people died in 2022 from guns in suicides, homicides or other ways, according to police data. That is the most recent year available for that data. In 2018, that figure was 598, and it rose every year. 

Nick Matuszewski directs policy and programs at the WAVE Educational Fund. On WPR’s “Wisconsin Today,” Matuszewski said more guns mean more deaths from guns. 

“There’s this talking point from the gun lobby that more guns make people more safe, but study after study has shown that the opposite is true,” he said. “And with more firearms in society, we have always seen that (it) raises the rate of firearm violence.”
