I just recieved this email from the AzCDL Legislative Action Center.......Home
So far over 600 pieces of proposed legislation have been filed this legislative session. Several bills were filed Thursday, both good and bad, dealing with our right to bear arms in Arizona. We are expecting more bills to “drop,” in the coming days. The final deadline for all bills to be filed is February 11th. You can find a list of the bills AzCDL is monitoring at our Bill Tracking page. New bills are added as we become aware of them.
With the Obama Administration’s attack on the Second Amendment, his loyal followers at the Arizona Legislature are in a frenzy to fundamentally transform Arizona. Among the most egregious attacks on your right to bear arms are a series of bills filed by Representative Chad Campbell (D-24):
HB 2376 would allow law enforcement officers, when contacting anyone possessing a firearm, to make a non-professional assessment of their mental state, and if, in their sole discretion, they determine that person may be a danger to themselves or others, seize their firearms, and request they be carted off for a court-ordered mental evaluation. This is an awful lot of power to hand someone who might disagree with your fundamental belief system. After all, if you believe you have the right to have the means to defend yourself, you must be crazy – right? That certainly appears to be what the sponsors of this bill believe.
HB 2378 would eliminate state preemption over the disposition of surrendered and confiscated firearms, allowing for local politicians to destroy, rather than sell, firearms, as required by current law. In medieval times ignorant people believed that inanimate objects could be possessed by evil spirits, and therefore should be destroyed. Today, sadly, too many politicians obviously hold the same beliefs.
HB 2379 would automatically make anyone subject to a restraining order a “prohibited” firearms possessor, regardless of the reason for the order.
HB 2380 is the ultimate slap in the face to law-abiding gun owners. It would abolish Constitutional Carry. Only criminals would have the freedom to carry when and where they desired without government permission. Or, maybe that was the intent of this legislation?
HB 2381 would arbitrarily classify virtually all semi-automatic pistols and rifles as “assault weapons”, and require that all transfers of these firearms be tightly controlled and only allowable via a licensed firearms dealer. Violators face a $10,000 fine and arrest. If your pistol or rifle looks offensive in the eyes of some politicians, you must be a bad person and need to be monitored closely.
We cannot let these assaults on our freedoms slide by without comment. We urge you to contact Representative Campbell and politely inform him that you dislike the legislation he has introduced. A pre-written letter is waiting for you at AzCDL’s Legislative Action Center. You can send the message we have prepared or edit what is there. It only takes a couple of mouse clicks to make your voice heard.
We thank all the activists who recently contacted Senator Ableser using our Legislative Action Center. If you haven’t already done so, click here for your letter to Senator Ableser.
Stay tuned! As more bills are filed, we will post them at AzCDL’s Bill Tracking page: .
