Zero Rating by Brady Campaign Celebrated by Gun-Rights Contingent
Arizona this year earned a zero for its loose gun laws.
The state joined Utah and Alaska as having the worst gun-safety laws in the nation, according to the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence.
The Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group has ranked states for four years. It released its latest ranking Wednesday.
Gun-rights activists called Arizona’s ranking proof that they are successfully protecting gun rights, and they vow to continue their efforts. Gun-violence-prevention groups said it’s proof that the state is continuing to move away from the values of most Arizonans.
