Under 18? You can still own a rifle or rifle in Wisconsin. – Istmus

The shooting on December 16 at the Christian school is an abundance of life ranging from how old it should be to have a firearm in Wisconsin.

Owning pistols by minors, such as the one used by the 15-year-old shooter, is illegal under the Federal Law. But the Wisconsin rifles and rifles are a different story. As tested in the process of Kyle Ritenhouse in 2021, Wisconsin’s statutes currently allows the possession of rifles and rifles by minors.

“The Statute says you can own a rifle or a rifle as long as they are … It’s not a short weapon with a barrel,” says John Gross, Professor of Wisconsin Law, who specializes in criminal law.

The legislators wrote the statute to ensure that 14-17 year olds could hunt with parental supervision. In fact, the law allows minors to legally possess firearms if they have long been pools. Gross says the release was prepared poorly and created an unwanted door.

Reporter Lisa Subec (D-Madison) agrees that the release “is a truly involuntary door”. Although he is a powerful supporter of Wisconsin’s Hunting Heritage, Subek says he supports the review of the Rittenhouse’s so -called Rittenhouse Gate.

“This happens a lot with the laws,” Subek says. “Often, years later, we have to come back and repair something, because at the time something was made, no one remembered it, right?”

Although Democrats, including SUBECK, introduced legislation in 2021 and 2023 to close the door, the bills have never received a hearing of the Commission. The bilateral interest in revision is unclear; Neither the chairman of the Assembly Robin Boss (R-Rochester), nor the leader of the majority in the Senate Devin Lemachi (R-Oostburg) did not respond to a request for comment.
