Tucson Council to Discuss Radical Change to Firearm Procurement

The Tucson City Council on Dec. 4 is expected to discuss a radical change to the city’s procurement process for the acquisition of firearms. If Ward 6 Councilman Steve Kozachik has his way, the city would be prohibited from doing business with any firearm retailer who sells “military-style” weapons to the public or isn’t deemed a “socially responsible dealer”. In his letter to Mayor Rothschild requesting discussion on the issue, Councilman Kozachik fails to define what constitutes a “military-style” weapon nor does explain what guns a “socially responsible gun dealer” would be permitted to sell.

Arizona law specifically prohibits local governments from enacting “any ordinance, rule or tax relating to the transportation, possession, carrying, sale, transfer, purchase, acquisition, gift, devise, storage, licensing, registration, discharge or use of firearms or ammunition.” Read more

CCRKBA Seeks SCOTUS Review Of Interstate Handgun Sales Case

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for review of its case challenging the long-standing ban on interstate handgun sales to law-abiding citizens from other states.

The case, known as Mance v. Whitaker, comes out of the Fifth Circuit and involves a Texas firearms retailer and two would-be customers who reside in Washington, D.C. A federal district court earlier ruled that the interstate handgun transfer ban is facially unconstitutional, which was reversed by a Fifth Circuit panel. The Fifth Circuit denied the petition for rehearing en banc by a fractured vote of 8-7. Plaintiffs in the case include CCRKBA, Andrew and Tracy Hanson of Washington, D.C. and Texas firearms retailer Fredric Mance. They are represented by attorney Alan Gura.

“The ban on interstate handgun sales was adopted decades ago,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “prior to the advent of the National Instant Check System that is now in place. The Hansons have essentially been denied the ability to legally purchase a handgun from a licensed retailer because of this prohibition. Read more
