Gov. Ducey vetoes 1 gun bill, signs 2 more | Government-and-politics | tucson.com
I'm not so sure how I feel about this veto. You can find the text of the bill here - https://legiscan.com/AZ/text/HB2524/id/1304664
What it does is add Arizona to a compact with two other states (I'm not sure which ones) to prohibit the legislature of any of the states to impose such things as registrations and background checks on private sales. We don't have any significant restrictions on the possession and use (carry) of firearms in this state to begin with so I'm not sure what we'd be accomplishing with this compact other than sending a message to DC that we won't be a part of any Bloomberg type schemes.
The Governor's story is that he wants to leave the door open for AZ to make its own determination on such laws and I can appreciate that but would like to see the legislature take a stand like what is in the compact.
