An oppressive universal background check bill (HB-2091) was recently proposed by anti-gun Arizona legislators. If it fails to pass, supporters will likely recast the failed bill as a Bloomberg funded ballot initiative. Former Mayor Bloomberg has promised to bankroll background check ballot initiatives in Washington, Nevada, Maine, and Arizona. So far he's kept his word; the first three listed states will vote on universal background check ballot initiatives in the 2016 general election.

         A poster called "IMPACT OF A UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECK LAW " and its three-page supporting text went live on 15 February. The text uses examples to demonstrate that if HB-2091 regulations attain the force of law as a ballot initiative, firearms transfers will be so burdensome that simply owning guns becomes a challenge Many thanks to our webmaster, editors, and fact checkers for getting the material ready to post during the early portion of Arizona's 2016 legislative session.
