When I was in Lake Havasu, Arizona in October and over the Christmas holiday, I noticed that the city has as many gun stores as the San Fernando Valley has nail salons. At least it seemed that way. While I was in Arizona in October, I bought a shotgun at a great price.
I don't know if it is true for the rest of the state, but the people of Lake Havasu City cherish their second amendment rights.
Since this is an election year, the worry by some in Arizona is that should the Democrats gain control of the legislature, gun control will soon be shoved their throats.
One Republican legislator from Prescott Valley is sounding the alarm. He fled Vietnam as a child, so he values the Second Amendment for good reason.
AZCentral has posted an article on what to expect if Democrats take control of the state legislature.
It begins with:
A Prescott Republican lawmaker warned over the weekend that Arizona could see a crackdown on guns should Democrats win control of the Legislature this fall.
He said it like that’s a bad thing.
Rep. Quang Nguyen was attending a gun rights rally on Saturday, just three days after gunmen transformed a Kansas City Chiefs victory parade into a shooting gallery, killing a mother of two and wounding 22 others, more than half of them children.
His comments came just a day after seven people were shot to death in Alabama, including four men at a neighborhood car wash …
… But just hours before two Minneapolis police officers and a firefighter were killed by a man who had barricaded himself inside his home with his wife and seven children.
"I'm telling you right now, if for some reason we lose the House and Senate and the Ninth Floor (Governor’s Office), I guarantee you, you wouldn't be able to walk around with your firearm," Nguyen said, during the 11th Annual Celebrate & Protect Second Amendment Rally at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza. "Your rights to keep and bear arms will be taken away from you in a flash."
