Sign Our E-Postcard Today to Tell Your Elected Officials That You Want to Keep Guns Out of the Wrong Hands
The truth is that unless our leaders in Madison hear from us, they will never work to prevent gun violence and address the issue of gun trafficking with sensible solutions such as requiring background checks.
Consider these important facts:
* Nearly half of all gun transactions in Wisconsin occur legally in the “secondary” gun market with no background check, no identification and no record of the sale;
* Not surprisingly, unregulated sales create a source of guns for young people, felons and others prohibited from purchasing a gun in the “primary” market;
* Approximately 90% of traced crime guns nationwide came from the “secondary” market where no background checks are conducted.
