AZ Gov Signs Bill Defying New Federal Gun Control Laws
The Epoch Times
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation on April 6 that would prohibit police and sheriffs in the state from enforcing new federal gun laws that may violate the Constitution’s Second Amendment.
Proponents of the bill have argued that it would ensure that the rights of gun owners are protected from what they have described as potential overreach by the federal government, while critics say the law will undermine cooperation between Arizona law enforcement and federal officials.
“The state of Arizona and its political subdivisions are prohibited from utilizing any financial resources or state personnel to administer, cooperate with or enforce any law, act, order, rule, treaty or regulation of the federal government that is inconsistent with any law of this state regarding the regulation of firearms,” according to the text of the legislation.
President Joe Biden has said he’s seeking a ban on certain firearms and gun magazines in the wake of two mass shootings last month. Top Democrats such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said two House bills that expanded background checks would be taken up by the Senate, although it’s not clear when that will occur.
That’s my new Governor for ya! While I miss my Murrieta/Temecula/California, I don’t miss it’s politics, taxes, regulations . . . shall I go on?
Missouri also passed a law which mandated that state and local LEO’s cannot enforce any federal law or regulation which would appear to be in conflict with the rights guaranteed under the constitution. Look for more states to follow suit.
gubmint, suck gun control **** @ your own risk
Molon labe!
If I buy a gun in-state, carry it in-state snd sell it in-state, the federal government does not have the enumerated power to restrict my 2nd amendment rights based on the interstate commerce clause.
Ahhh, but you’re speaking “legally”.
The present government does not do things legally.
