Democrats at the Capitol are proposing gun safety measures. Lawmakers unveiled the measures during a Capitol press conference on Monday, along with Attorney General Josh Kaul and gun violence prevention advocates.

Today I am proud to stand with the Wisconsin Coalition for Gun Safety and Attorney General Josh Kaul as we roll out our #GunSafeSummer bill package.
