Action Alert--Bills in Committee This Week

 

Take Action on Important Bills being Heard in Committee This Week!

You can see the full list of bills that AzCDL is tracking this session on our Bill Tracking Page.

HB 2667

HB 2667 is the so-called "campus carry," bill. It prohibits the governing board of any university, college or community college from enacting or enforcing any policy or rule that prohibits the possession of a concealed weapon by a person who possesses a valid concealed weapons permit, or that prohibits the transportation or storage of a firearm.As in past years, we expect strong opposition from college and university administrations and even some student groups. Your help in moving the bill forward is critical!

HB 2544

One way the federal government justifies many of the activities it seeks to control or tax is the so-called "commerce clause" of the Constitution which grants authority for Washington to regulate inter-state commerce. HB 2544 seeks to limit that authority with respect to firearms by declaring that firearms and ammunition that are "modified" in Arizona and remain within the state do not constitute "inter-state commerce." This may seem obvious, but the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in the past that even activities within a state somehow affect commerce between the states.HB  2667 and 2544 will be heard on Wednesday morning, February 15 by the House Judiciary Committee. The committee members need to hear from you in order to move these bills forward!Please log into the RTS system today to enter your "For" vote and encourage your legislators to pass this bill out of committee.

SB 1300

Senate Bill 1300 is the companion bill to HB 2667. Like the house bill, SB 1300 would prohibit the governing board of any university, college or community college from enacting or enforcing any policy or rule that prohibits the possession of a concealed weapon by a person who possesses a valid concealed weapons permit, or that prohibits the transportation or storage of a firearm.SB 1300 will be heard on Wednesday afternoon, February 15 by the Senate Military Affairs and Public Safety (MAPS) Committee. The committee members need to hear from you in order to move this bill forward!Please log into the RTS system today to enter your "For" vote and encourage your legislators to pass this bill out of committee.

Is Mel Gibson 'tooled up' on liberty as well as guns?

(Reposted from  http://www.examiner.com/x-1417-Gun-Rights-Examiner~y2010m1d27-Is-Mel-Gibson-tooled-up-on-liberty-as-well-as-guns ) January 27, 2010 7:32 AM Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea ) Edge of Darkness  star Mel Gibson has a gun. That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes. True enough. There's nothing unusual about that and Gibson is correct--weapons are tools, and we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have them and know how to properly use them. It's hardly news though...

What is the National Rifle Association?

 Received via email:  To: ​ Hamlin, Douglas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association? I've heard countless times it's "America's oldest civil rights group". Is that so? I've also heard it's a non profit corporation. It's definitely not making a profit now. I've been told, it's membership is 4million, 5mllion, even 6million members. Or is it less than 3million? The NRA was once a $300 to $400million non profit corporation. What do the books say now? Is the board even allowed to see the books? Or do they have the courage to ask? The most recent numbers I could find were revenues being about $176million, while expenditures were about $209million.

Just last year the NRA lost 14% o...

Open Letter to President Trump on Military Base Victim Disarmament

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...
