Wisconsin needs the Lethal Violence Protective Order ("Red Flag" Law)

Support the Lethal Violence Protective Order ("Red Flag" Law)!

All too often, after a firearm homicide or suicide, families say they saw early warning signs and red flags, but there was nothing they could do. This lifesaving legislation will give every Wisconsin family the tools they need to help protect their at-risk loved ones, themselves and their communities -- before it’s too late.

Why is this important?

More than 600 men, women, and children are killed with guns in Wisconsin every year, and nearly 80% are suicides.

There is a way to decrease this deadly trend and save precious lives. The Lethal Violence Protective Order (also referred to as "Red Flag" law) gives every family the ability to temporarily keep guns away from loved ones going through a serious crisis -- before they hurt themselves or others.

All too often, after a firearm homicide or suicide, families say they saw the warning signs, the "red flags," but there was nothing they could do. Wisconsin law right now leaves families and law enforcement HELPLESS to preemptively remove firearms from individuals at extreme risk for violence.

The Lethal Violence Protective Order would change all that. Tell Wisconsin state leaders to support it now!
