No source reports that Black people account for 54% of Wisconsin weapons violations. The sources give Black shares of firearm homicide victims (64.3% in 2024, 75.5% in 2022) and a Milwaukee police share of weapons-law arrests (15.6%), which measure different things, so they neither confirm nor refute the claim.

What we found
Context. Multiple 2024 sources put Black residents at 64.3% of firearm homicide victims in Wisconsin, a different measure from weapons violations.[2][3][4]
Context. A Wisconsin Policy Forum report gives Milwaukee Police Department's share of weapons-law arrests (15.6%) but does not report the racial breakdown of those arrests statewide.[5]
Context. The Wisconsin DOJ UCR dashboard is the official statewide offense data source, but the retrieved page contains no race-specific weapons-violation figures.[1]
