HB 2307, The Arizona Firearms Freedom Act, has just passed the senate with a vote of 22-8!
The proposed legislation confronts the position taken by most members of Congress that the “Commerce Clause”, found in Article I, Section 8, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, gives them nearly unlimited power to regulate anything which even remotely affects interstate commerce. Either one of these bills would challenge that claim, by exempting guns manufactured in Arizona from federal regulation, as long as they are stamped “Made in Arizona” and do not leave the state.
The legislative findings contained in this bill assert Arizona’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment and the people’s unenumerated rights under the Ninth Amendment. They also emphasize the fact that when Arizona entered the union in 1912, its people did so as part of a contract between the state and the people of Arizona and the United States.
It is very likely that this Firearms Freedom bill will be signed by Governor Brewer into law. This will add Arizona to the list of states like Montana, Tennessee, Wyoming, South Dakota and Utah that are arresting the evil of Congressional Commerce Clause Abuse (CCCA) by nullifying unconstitutional federal laws.

This is something all states of this great country need to do, there is a lot of controversy over this issue but the bottom line is, its the people's constitutional right as Americans to bare arms. Personally, I feel its our right as human beings to keep the weapons we need to defend ourselves and our loved ones. It makes me proud to be an American, to see that the fear instilled in us by criminals, terrorists and negligent gun owners has not deterred us from our principles and trick us into defending ourselves with one hand tied behind our backs. The people of this country are the keepers of this country, that is a fact that I feel has long been forgotten.
