This week at the Capitol in Madison, extremist Republican legislators introduced several bills that are straight from the playbook of the corporate gun industry. Contact your legislators now and ask them to oppose these bills!

Demand that our State Legislators Prioritize People Over Guns!
Wisconsinites deserve leaders who put people first — not the profits of the gun industry. Stand against permitless carry and these other reckless gun bills!

Gun violence is a tragedy. Always. In the past two weeks we've seen it wreak havoc on elementary students, teens, and a college campus. Every day across our country, people are shot in events that barely make the news. Our hearts break for all those impacted. We will never stop working for change.

Gun violence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When people are denied access to affordable healthcare, the risk of violence grows. Prevention starts with equity. Congress must not make this problem worse. #EndGunViolence #HealthEquity #RootCauses

This is what the One Big, Abhorrent Bill would do: spectrumnews1.com/wi/madison/n...
GOP tax bill would ease regulations on gun silencers, some rifles and shotguns
The bill would advance a longtime priority of the gun industry as Republican leaders in the House and Senate try to win enough votes to pass the bill.
