Since the shooting in Parkland, Florida in February, we’ve been having the same tired conversations about gun violence ‒ conversations that have yet to materialize into meaningful, concrete steps to address gun violence, largely because solutions get lost in the hyperbolic noise and partisan rhetoric.

But they shouldn’t. Because, at the end of the day, I think most people agree that most of the proposals addressing gun violence aren’t that unreasonable or unfair.

A majority of Wisconsinites — 81 percent, in fact — believe the background check process for purchasing a firearm should be the same, regardless of whether a person is buying it from a gun shop, an outdoor recreation store or a gun show.

Most people agree people shouldn’t be able to affix an attachment to their firearm allowing it to effectively fire automatically.

Most people agree that a person should report to law enforcement if their firearm is lost or stolen, and that a person living with children should have to keep their firearm secured. Most people also agree that gun shops should have to lock up their firearms while the building is unattended.

Most people agree that if a person is at risk of harming themselves or others, a family member or law enforcement officer should be able to act and prevent that person from possessing or purchasing a firearm temporarily. Most people also agree that people who have a history of suicidal ideation or depression should be able to prevent themselves from buying a handgun voluntarily.

People are ready for real dialogue about gun violence in which safe, responsible gun ownership and the Second Amendment aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s time to stop treating gun violence as a dichotomous issue because if we cut through hyperbole and rhetoric, we’ll find most people agree more often than not.
