• 3 hours ago There's a renewed push for gun-control measures in Wisconsin and at the federal level, with President Joe Biden's executive actions this week. Advocates of the plans say longstanding opposition remains, but the focus on different aspects of the gun debate might receive greater support. Biden's announcement follows several mass shootings in the U.S. His executive orders range from restrictions on homemade firearms known as "ghost guns," to investments in community violence-intervention programs. Jeri Bonavia, executive director of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort, noted that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has a similar funding proposal, which she believes can work.
