Democratic lawmakers are proposing a way for Wisconsinites who are experiencing depression or suicidal ideation to voluntarily put themselves on a “do not buy” list that would block them from being able to purchase a handgun themselves. During his time in the Legislature, Brostoff also served as a member of the 2019 Speakers’ Task Force on Suicide Prevention. The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) would be required to maintain a list under the bill. The proposal would provide $150,000 in state funding to the Department of Justice for the purposes of maintaining the list. The prohibition could be removed if someone submitted a request to the DOJ outside of the irrevocable period.
