Milwaukee spa shooting may spark new legislation

Many lawmakers and legislators are up in arms over the recent spa shootings in Milwaukee that have rattled Wisconsin citizens, authorities and lawmakers.

The 45-year-old resident Radcliffe Haughton bought a handgun and opened fire on his wife and several of her coworkers at the spa she worked at. This was a few days after his wife had issued a restraining order against him. In such a case, the restrained individuals must hand over their firearms to authorities, but it is unclear of whether Haughton did so, according to the Associated Press.

In addition, Haughton purchased another firearm from a private seller before the shooting, which he used to attack the spa.

"Across Wisconsin there are inconsistent standards, or sometimes none at all, for the collection of weapons owned by domestic abusers," Senator Lena Taylor told the media on October 22.

Taylor and Representative Penny Schraber are pushing a bill that would require any individuals who are subject to a restraining order to surrender all their firearms within 48 hours after their arrest. This the second time the congresswomen have attempted to pass the bill since, in 2010, it fell through the cracks due to opposition from the National Rifle Association.

Court reporters benefit investigations and legislation

As investigators may still be deposing and interviewing witnesses and victims of the crime, Taylor and Schraber may also be attempting to gain support for their bill. In such a situation, the authorities and congresswomen may benefit from partnering with Milwaukee court reporters.

These professionals are not only capable of transcribing  conversations and speeches at real-time, but also provide private conference rooms as well as videography services that can help users retain the most accurate transcripts of their hearings and depositions.
