A Legislators’ bipartisan coalition including Sen. Patty Schachatner and D-Somerset, has introduced a bill to increase the sale of the gun safe by providing tax exemption on their purchase. There were other bill authors including Sen. Van Wanggaard, R-Racine, Rep. Cody, Horlacher, R-Mukwonago, and Rep. Shelia Stubbs, D-Madison.

Schachtner is a former school employee and medical examiner. She said that as a medical examiner she knows that every suicide is tragic and changes the lives of others. The safe gun storage is required in every gun holder’s house to decrease the risk of accidental shooting and suicide cases, especially among children. The child suicide rate in Wisconsin is 33% higher than the national rate and the state’s overall suicide rate was higher than the national average rate during the time period of 2008 and 2018.

According to a research published in the journal of the American Medical Association, the most common reason for the suicides is the use of a firearm, and 48 percent of people who have attempted suicide have thought at least once on their decision for 10 minutes. The research found that the safe securing of a firearm reduces the risk of suicide. Top Gun Safe Manufacturers in Canada, US provides safes for commercial and home use together.

Schachtne said, “Secure firearm storage through a gun safe provides crucial time for those contemplating suicide to cool down and reflect, potentially preventing an impulsive and preventable action, I am thankful for the bipartisan support this proposal has received. We must work together to.”

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.
