Arizona Arizona panel advances background check bill

[Joe Link]

An Arizona panel narrowly approved a measure Tuesday outlawing any future background check mandates for the transfer of private property — including firearms.

The House Federalism, Property Rights and Public Policy Committee voted 5-4 to advance Senate Bill 1122 to the full chamber for consideration, much to the dismay of the state's gun control community.

"Our legislators should stop playing games with these vaguely worded, unnecessary bills and actually do something to address the real gun violence problem in our communities," said Annie LaMoureaux, a volunteer with the Arizona chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, while testifying before the committee Tuesday.

The one-page proposal, authored by Sierra Vista resident Jere Fredenburgh, specifically prohibits a city, town or county from requiring "as a condition of a private sale, gift, donation or other transfer of personal property, the owner of the personal property search or facilitate the search of any federal or state databases and shall not require that a third party be involved."

Unless we can get that state population constitutional amendment requirement for voter initiatives, (requires a percentage of each county, not a percentage of the state total), or the other one which required us to be in an interstate compact to not require the background check garbage, we can still lose, as voter initiatives can override state law. We need better armor for our rights, when Bloomers and his billions come calling, like he did in Washington and Nevada.

Don't forget Oregon too

I'm happy that there are still many states fighting for us rather than against us.
