Arizona has signed a new law that would prohibit federal gun laws that would violate the Second Amendment.
The HB2111 legislation was signed into law Tuesday by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, ensuring rights of gun owners are protected from potential overreaching gun laws sought by President Joe Biden's administration.
The law seeks to prohibit police and sheriffs from enforcing new federal gun laws, which critics say will undermine the rule of law and discourage law enforcement officers from enforcing federal gun laws to protect the public. Critics also say it is an uncons utional measure that will cost taxpayers to defend in court.
Gun control advocates from Everytown for Gun Safety delivered pe ions earlier Tuesday urging Ducey to reject the legislation, HB2111. Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for universal background checks and gun-control measures, is backed by Michael Bloomberg
