标 题: Arizona: House Committee Votes to Advance Two NRA-Backed Bills
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Feb 21 17:48:34 2013, 美东)
The Arizona House Public Safety, Military and Regulatory Affairs Committee
passed two NRA-backed reforms yesterday afternoon. In a 6 to 1 vote
, this committee approved House Bill 2234
, introduced by Representative David Stevens (R-14), which would revise the
definition of “firearm” to conform to federal law.
Also, House Bill 2554
, introduced by Representative John Kavanagh (R-23), received a “Do-Pass”
recommendation with a 5 to 2 vote
. This bill would allow law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed handgun
for self-defense in any public buildings that lack adequate security. HB
2554 is now eligible for a final vote in the House of Representatives while
HB 2234 must be approved next by the House Judiciary Committee.
HB 2554 would be a significant step towards reducing the number of “gun-
free zones” that are so often the targets of crime. Under this bill, any
government or public building that wishes to prohibit the carrying of
concealed firearms for self-defense would be required to screen all visitors
for weapons. This would ensure that ALL people who enter the buildings are
disarmed, not just the law-abiding citizens who choose to follow the law. If
a building lacks the adequate security measures necessary to disarm all
visitors, then law-abiding citizens would be allowed to carry a firearm to
protect themselves while visiting that particular building. The NRA has
supported similar legislation in past sessions and will continue to support
these types of proposals. | K****o
