WAVE needs your generous support to advocate for measures to prevent gun violence, such as our campaign to require background checks on all gun sales.

Jeri Bonavia, executive director of WAVE, said background checks are essential to ensure guns do not end up in the hands of dangerous individuals.

WAVE Executive Director Jeri Bonavia said the poll showed a wide range of voters favored the background checks.
“We just had tremendous support across all of Wisconsin, across all demographics,” Bonavia said.
Seven out of 10 National Rifle Association members support the checks as well, according to the WAVE release. Bonavia said the reason for a lack of action on the issue is because NRA leaders are disconnected from their average members.
