The Arizona governor vetoed two gun-related measures Monday, saying they do nothing to prevent gun violence. Hobbs has now vetoed 52 bills this session.

By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — Parents won't be able to bring their loaded weapons onto school campuses, at least not while Katie Hobbs is Arizona's governor.In a single veto letter Monday, the governor vetoed both measures saying they do nothing to prevent gun violence. And she said if the safety of school children is really a concern of lawmakers there are better ways to do that — ways the Republican-controlled Legislature has refused to consider.

Hobbs also rejected HB 2297 which would have said that prosecutors pursing cases of fraudulent schemes and artifices are not required to establish that all of the unlawful acts occurred within the state. Anyway, she told colleagues, it is far safer to keep the gun loaded than risk accidents when unloading and reloading it.

"I'm focused on finding concrete solutions to gun violence prevention that protect Arizona families, including but not limited to, policy focused on trauma-informed emergency planning and safe, secure gun storage,'' the governor wrote.

In fact, GOP leadership used a procedural motion to block a bid by Longdon, who is paralyzed from the waist down since a random drive-by shooting in 2004, to bring what is known as"Christian's Law'' to the full House and put all lawmakers on record. House Majority Leader Leo Biasiucci, R-Lake Havasu City, defended the maneuver.

Good job Katie!

Democrats politicians are the most corrupt in human history. Take a trip down the streets of Portland or San Francisco to see what's coming to Arizona.

Hurrah for GovernorHobbs keeping us safe from the authoritarian Republican Legislature.
