Arizona and the city of Tucson could be headed to court over gun control in the state. GOP Gov. Doug Ducey signed a law declaring Arizona a "Second Amendment sanctuary" earlier this year. Tucson officials moved to uphold federal gun regulations in the city, despite the state law. See more stories on Insider's business page. Three months after the state of Arizona declared itself a Second Amendment sanctuary, officials in the liberal-leaning city of Tuscon say they plan to ignore the so-called declaration, signaling a possible legal battle in the ongoing fight for control over gun rights in the battleground state.
In April, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill declaring Arizona a Second Amendment sanctuary, ostensibly barring state and local governments from enforcing some federal gun regulations. The legislative action came in part, as a response to President Joe Biden's talk of stricter firearm regulations.

these tyrants excuse violence as “protesting” and release violent career criminals from prison cause “racist”, then want to go after legal gun owners.
Democrats. Wall. Firing squad.
Some assembly required.
Adelita Grijalva is a Pima County Supervisor (i.e. Tucson) and daughter of Marxist and Democrat Congressman Raul Grijalva. Get the pircture?
States are sovereigns in all areas that they have not:
(1) Ceded to the federal Government under the Constitution
(2) Ceded to their municipalities under their State Constitutions.
If only Arizona’s bill had included penalties for officials violating it; jail time, loss of state retirement benefits, steep fines...
But, no, the Pubbies went for just a “symbolic declaration”.
Isn’t it great watching Tucson become Mexico with the family gangsters like the Grijalva’s taking over?
Gosh wasn’t it great that Los Gringos built such a lovely place for the barefoot thugs of Northern Sonora to waltz in and steal?
“Robbery Under Law” - how Mexico works. Coming to a Southwestern town near you.
Two comments. First, the irony of all this is that Tucson has previously declared itself a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens. Thus declaring their intent to ignore the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Second, if/when this becomes a legal issue the AZ State Supreme Court will once again bitch-slap the City of Tucson into compliance.
Is there state preemption on gun laws in Arizona?

Of course, after all, Frank Luntz tells Republicans to avoid ‘contentious issues’.
If you can hold your nose while clicking the link, there’s a fairly comprehensive overview of the preemption laws in Arizona here: https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/preemption-of-local-laws-in-arizona/
Long story short, yes, sort of. It’s unlikely the city can do this, legally, under state law. Most relevant bit being:
“[e]xcept for the legislature, this state and any agency or political subdivision of this state shall not enact or implement any law, rule or ordinance relating to the possession, transfer, or storage of firearms other than as provided in statute.”
Tucson must
Be “Woke!”
Sounds to me like the 2nd Amendment supporters in Tucson need to fire the folks not supporting the state.
Why would there be a legal argument? You treat them like EVERYONE ELSE and ARREST ALL OF THEM, let them make thier case to a Jury
Yes... The State Constitution states that “the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land”. Literally.
Arizona is a constitutional carry state
Tucson is stepping outside of its boundaries
Am finding many Arizonans despise Tucson’s liberal bent.
My second home is in the same county, Pima, but outside the Tucson city limits. Dunno how that city’s crap affects the county, or just city.
Seems likely to get shut down as liberal grandstanding.
Raul Grijalva got his underpinning from the Jewish community of Tucson way back when Saudi Arabia wanted to fund a dry lands institute at the U. of Arizona. Grijalva was instrumental in blocking the donation, received the financial backing of the Jewish community, and the rest they say, is history.
