This week Arizonans are celebrating our latest success in the fight to preserve our second amendment rights. Yesterday, a new law took effect allowing law-abiding citizens to bring guns into national parks and wildlife refuges. I was proud to join members from both parties to pass this law which ensures we can now move freely throughout State and Federal land with our firearms. Greater Arizona is home to the most beautiful sites in the country, including thousands of miles of parkland. National parks are not just places we visit on vacation. We live and work in and around them. It was unacceptable to leave our rights behind each time we left home. Now folks can become confident that their freedoms are protected wherever they travel in Arizona. I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue fighting to protect our constitutional right to bear and keep arms with measures like this.
