Protect Our Communities: Prioritize Gun Violence Prevention!
The vast majority of Wisconsinites want stronger gun laws. To get there, we need lawmakers to put the safety of our children, our neighbors, and our communities above the interests of the gun industry.
For too long, politicians have refused to act, and the cost has been human lives. Honor the will of the people and make lifesaving gun violence prevention laws a top priority. With gun violence being the leading cause of death for our children and teenagers, no other issue is more urgent. Please, take action now!
Why is this important?
Guns are the number one cause of death for children and teens in our country. Every one of these deaths is preventable. States with stronger gun laws consistently have lower rates of gun deaths, because gun laws save lives.
Every person deserves the right to live free from gun violence. And, we know what works. Requiring background checks for all gun sales will prevent prohibited people from accessing deadly firearms. An extreme risk law would give every family the ability to ensure their loved ones cannot access guns during a serious crisis when they are at extreme risk of danger to themselves or others.
Finally, community violence intervention programs stop violence before it starts by using credible messengers to break the cycles of gun violence in our communities.
We know what works. Now we need action.
