Thu Jun 5 07:48:36 CDT 2025

Dear friends,
I know every one of us wants a world with less guns where our kids can feel
safe. Gun laws are written and upheld at the state level.  Please consider
contacting your state legislators to support this bill - there's a link to
do so below.  It'll take just a minute or two.  This is important.  Thank
you.
Kerry

Kerry,

We have huge news, and you’re one of the first to hear it!

Just a few minutes ago, our closest allies in the Wisconsin State
Legislature introduced a package of lifesaving gun violence prevention
bills. You’ve shown that you are deeply committed to preventing gun
tragedies, and now you can urge your legislators to support this critical
progress.

The package includes some of our top policy priorities—evidence-based
measures shown to reduce gun deaths in states where these policies are
already law. It contains bills to:

   - Require background checks on all gun sales – because Wisconsin must
   keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of already-prohibited people.
   - Create an extreme risk law – because those closest to someone in a
   crisis must be empowered to stop a tragedy.
   - Reinstate the 48-hour waiting period, which Republicans rescinded –
   because rage and despair should never pull the trigger.
   - Prohibit ghost guns – because untraceable firearms keep showing up at
   crime scenes.

Any one of these measures would save lives. Together, they could
drastically improve the safety of Wisconsin children and communities.
I'll Support These Bills Now

Here’s the catch: While these measures are deeply popular, they won’t move
forward in the legislature without bipartisan backing. That’s why it’s so
important to contact your legislators today and urge them to support these
bills!

The timing for this announcement is not a coincidence. It comes just days
before National Gun Violence Awareness weekend and at the start of summer,
when, sadly, gun violence traditionally spikes.

This means we absolutely cannot delay. We must tell our legislators now to
cosponsor these bills and place the will – and more importantly, the lives
– of Wisconsinites ahead of political games.

Let’s have a safe summer. Let’s save lives.
