Bill/Issue: AZ HB 2080 - Restoration of Right to Bear Arms After Release
- Position: Support
- Author: Sen. Allen (R-5)
Summary: Arizona law currently restricts felons from possessing a firearm after they’ve been released from prison, even if their crime was non-violent. H 2080 permits those who are deemed fit to re-enter society to exercise their right to bear arms. HB 2080 makes the moral statement that those who have repaid their debt to society should not be forced to be second class citizens.
