Tucson to Ignore Arizona’s ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ Law
8th July 2021
ucson city officials are planning to ignore Arizona’s new “Second Amendment sanctuary” law, preventing state and local governments from enforcing specific federal gun regulations.
The move made by Democrat Mayor Regina Romero and the Tucson City Council puts the sale of firearms at odds with the Republican-led state.
The southern Arizona city has a long history of enforcing gun laws stricter than the state. The measures have included mandating background checks of guns bought on city property and destroying seized firearms. But over the years, those measures have been challenged after Republican-led efforts enacted laws barring those measures.
