Arizona Blocks Federal Gun Control Measures Ahead of Joe Biden Address On 4/8/21 at 8:23 AM EDT Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed a bill on Tuesday that aims to stop federal gun reform measures restricting Second Amendment rights in the state. The Republican has pre-empted President Joe Biden's plan to tackle gun violence with a raft of executive orders this week by signing Arizona House Bill 2111. Under the state legislation, known as the Second Amendment Firearm Freedom Act, federal gun laws deemed to impede the right to bear arms would be "unenforceable" and "null" in Arizona. In addition, public officials will be barred from using funds or personnel to enforce U.S. government measures on gun reform.
