House Bill 2291
Within a month of the start of the legislative session, four state legislators have proposed House Bill 2291,
which would make federal laws restricting certain firearms illegal in the state of Arizona.
"The gist of (HB 2291) really is to preserve the Second Amendment rights of all the Arizona citizens,"
said Rep. Carl Seel, who co-sponsored the bill.
According to the legislation, anyone trying to enforce a federal "rule, regulation or order that is effective
on or after January 1, 2013" and limits or restricts ownership of a semiautomatic firearm or any magazine
of any firearm can be charged with a Class 6 felony.
"When the federal government oversteps its power and trounces on the citizenry,
it's incumbent on the states to stand up and say no," said Seel.

Gun legislation
State lawmakers have proposed about a dozen gun-related bills so far this session.
Here are some of them:
Public buildings:
House Bill 2288, sponsored by Rep. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa,
would allow guns in all public buildings unless the building is secured by either a
law-enforcement officer or an armed security guard and metal detectors.
Prohibited enforcement:
Senate Bill 1112 and HB 2291, sponsored by Sen. Kelli Ward,
R-Lake Havasu City, and Smith, would ban all federal, state or local government employees
and federally licensed gun dealers from enforcing any federal law or regulation relating
to firearms or ammunition in Arizona.
Prohibited possessors:
HB 2377, sponsored by Rep. Chad Campbell, D-Phoenix, prohibits
anyone who has been voluntarily hospitalized for mental-health evaluation or treatment
from possessing a firearm. His HB 2379 bans people with court-issued orders of protection
against them from possessing a firearm.
Concealed carry:
HB 2380, sponsored by Campbell, reinstates the requirement that individuals
need a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and would require firearms training to get such a permit.
Background check:
HB 2381, sponsored by Campbell, requires person-to-person gun sales to go
through a licensed firearms dealer so a background check is conducted on both parties.
College campuses:
SB 1049, sponsored by Sen. Ed Ableser, D-Tempe, bans firearms on college campuses.
Ammunition clips:
SB 1050, sponsored by Ableser, bans high-capacity ammunition magazine clips.
