BETTER FREEDOM IN ARIZONA, 2 WAYS

Bills sought by Arizona gun-rights activists signed

PHOENIX (AP) - Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into law two bills supported by gun-rights activists.

1 of the bills signed Monday would broaden the state's current restrictions on local governments' ability
to regulate or tax guns and ammunition. One specific provision bars local governments from prohibiting
a person with a concealed weapons license from possessing a gun in a park.

The other bill declares that guns manufactured entirely in Arizona are exempt from federal oversight
and are not subject to federal laws restricting the sale of firearms or requiring them to be registered.

Brewer says that bill "should send a clear and convincing message that politicians in Washington should not
attempt to get between Arizonans and their constitutional rights."
