Bills sought by Ariz. gun-rights activists signed

Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into law two bills supported by gun-rights activists.

1 of the bills signed Monday would broaden the state’s current restrictions on local governments’ ability to regulate or tax guns and ammunition. One specific provision bars local governments from prohibiting a person with a concealed weapons permit from possessing a gun in a park.

The other bill declares that guns manufactured entirely in Arizona are exempt from federal oversight and are not subject to federal laws restricting the sale of firearms or requiring them to be registered.

Brewer says that bill “should send a clear and convincing message that politicians in Washington should not attempt to get between Arizonans and their constitutional rights.”-[source]
