Help close Wisconsin’s domestic violence loophole. Disarm domestic violence

Wisconsin has a domestic violence crisis. Federally, people convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor are barred from owning a gun. However, a deadly loophole created by a 2022 ruling of the Wisconsin Supreme Court makes it impossible to enforce this in Wisconsin. This must change. We must side with victims and survivors of domestic violence – not their abusers.

The same year this new loophole went into effect, Wisconsin saw an unprecedented level of domestic violence. In just one year, the number of domestic violence homicides rose by 20%. And Wisconsin already had one of the highest rates of women murdered by men in the country. That is why we must act immediately. 

Join WAVE in creating a safer Wisconsin by signing up now to help close Wisconsin's domestic violence loophole and disarm domestic abusers.
