It's time for Wisconsin to return that common sense to that common sense policy. Tonight I'm announcing I will be asking the legislature to restore the 48 hour waiting period in Wisconsin in our next state budget. I am also announcing tonight a new self assigned firearm exclusion program or SAFE to help program will allow Wisconsinites to temporarily and voluntarily registered to prevent themselves from purchasing a firearm. Registering SAFE could make a real difference and even save someone's life. Folks, the legislature must start doing its part to take gun violence seriously in the states. (34:12–34:29)
