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.”
I’m so glad I moved here over 25 years ago!
we need to nullify all illegal federal regulations, starting yes with these
Interesting how all these issues are party line votes.
You’d think there’d be some democrats somewhere who would break rank and vote for the Constitution.
But this is what you get voting dem.
Arizona also has mail in voting. Which is why it now has 2 RAT Senators . Republican rule is not going to last much longer here.
This country already fought a war over state’s rights that did not go well for the states.
Do you really think the corrupt feds will just let state officers arrest them?
I have predicted on other threads that the only thing that will make this country obey its Constitution is a little shooting and the right people getting shot, started by a federal gun grab like Lexington-Concord.
Wow
Florida and Arizona
Where are the others like big talking Texas.
Very narrow vote will be lost after flooding AZ with enough illegals.
This is where it’s going. States will simply challenge or overrule Fed power grabs.

Hopefully that is true, and any State politician who refuses to support gun sanctuary legislation should be targeted for defeat ASAP!
Don’t count on Tennessee. While we have a heavily GOP General Assembly, the party is run by GOPe who are barely Republicans.
Will there be more, to this unconstitutional drive by the Dims ?
Or have they all have been co-opted by Federal over-reach ? ?
Arizona keeping
It Real,
Thanks

GREENE COUNTY SHERIFF CALLS TWO PROPOSED MISSOURI BILLS MISGUIDED, SAYS THEY COULD “HAMSTRING” LAW ENFORCEMENT
https://www.ktts.com/2021/01/31/greene-county-sheriff-calls-two-proposed-missouri-bills-misguided-says-they-could-hamstring-law-enforcement/
The organization, Moms Demand Action, is fighting against the bills.
Heh. It’s a political stunt, similar to sanctuary cities. The feds have plenary authority over federal laws and enforcement.
Might as well be the dog catcher saying he won’t enforce gun laws. Duh, it’s not his job anyway.
Courts won't allow the crime to be prosecuted.
This is one of those "looks good on paper, tough talk" bills that legislators pass for their own benefit. it has zero public value.
Republican rule in Arizona ... John McCain ... meh. Doesn’t do anything for me.
I throw the same stones in my state of Maine.
The laws could be helpful if correctly written. Federal agents do rely on local cooperation. See the effects of marijuana sanctuary laws in some of the few anti-Second-Amendment states.
Here’s Leo’s email.
No doubt he’d like to hear from folks who support this great endeavor.
