The Arizona House passed a law to nullify federal gun control measures last last month, establishing the state as a Second Amendment sanctuary. State Rep. Leo Biasiucci’s Second Amendment Firearm Freedom Act would nullify any new federal gun control laws restricting gun rights, citing the unconstitutionality of the Biden administration’s support for “assault weapons” bans, attacks on online firearms transactions, and forced registry of semiautomatic rifles as NFA items.
The law passed the Arizona State House in a 31-29 party line vote in February.
“We’re Second Amendment friendly. We love our law-abiding citizens, gun owners,” Biasiucci told the Epoch Times. “So I have a bill HB 2111 … it’s very simple. It says if the federal government changes anything at the federal level, Arizona is not gonna play. We’re not going to use money. We’re not gonna use resources to comply—if they ban AR-15 and they try to come in and start arresting people. Not gonna happen in our state.”
The law- or a similar proposal currently being prepared by Arizona Senators- has a strong chance of passing Arizona’s State Senate, where Republicans hold a two-seat lead. If signed into law, Arizona would be the biggest state to pass a Second Amendment nullification provision that blocks federal gun control proposals, following Missouri, Wyoming, South Dakota, Tennessee, Kansas, and Alaska.
The Second Amendment Firearm Freedom Act would institute state criminal penalties for law enforcement officials that attempt to enforce illegal gun grabs.
Biasiucci touted the law as an invitation for firearms companies to move to Arizona, citing respect for gun laws and a pro-small and medium business economic atmosphere.
“I ask all these gun manufacturers come to Arizona. We got low taxes. We’re trying to drop our income tax again this year. We’re gonna try to move it to a flat tax. We have a lot of land, business-friendly. We’re open for business. So I tell everybody: hey, come to Arizona, the land of the free over there, the last frontier.”
Arizona House Passes Law to Nullify Biden’s Federal Gun Control.... Arizona won’t recognize gun control.
preemptive nullification. I’m dizzy.

This is the right approach.
Put them on notice.
And they can’t gainsay it or they have to go after the illegal alien sanctuary states.
I’m not sure you can nullify something that doesn’t exist yet, but you have to admit that they’ve got style.
“Last last month”....So that would be January?
Last month would be February. It’s March now.
This is where it’s going. States will simply challenge or overrule Fed power grabs.
Great news! Let’s hope the Senate passes same and the ice cream man signs it.
This is the first I’ve heard of these bills. Not a peep from my rep or sen that these were in the works. I wrote them both on this very subject. Andy Biggs is good about responding. Mesnard and Weninger have been unresponsive, although Mesnard did vote to arrest the BOS pukes.
And if that doesn’t happen, citizens band together and simply terminate those dumb enough to attempt enforcement.
But 1) will they protect their citizens from federal agents who are trying to enforce federal law? And 2) why are the current unconstitutional laws enforced?
Not quite. They are still going to comply with the 1934 NFA, the 1968 GCA, the 1986 machine gun ban, and the NICS, all af which are unconstitutional infringements on the RKBA.
Texas also is getting organized. They are now doing 2nd amendment sanctuary resolutions in County government in Texas.
The feds would be charged with State felony.
“The Second Amendment Firearm Freedom Act would institute state criminal penalties for law enforcement officials that attempt to enforce illegal gun grabs.”
Jumping the gun? (rim shot)
Seems like a good time for states to start pushing back against laws that restrict personal freedom. Actually long past time.
2A bump for later....
