Increased gun regulation is something that Arizona Democrats have long been fighting for, only to be shut down by Republican legislators. With a chance of winning the majority in November, policymakers are brainstorming gun control bills they would like to see on Gov. Katie Hobbs' desk.
Only two seats away from having a Democratic majority in Arizona's legislative chambers for the first time in six decades, the Democratic Caucus has established a plan they say would allow them to hit the ground running in 2025 should they take control of the Legislature. This story is part of a series of what a Democratic trifecta would look like for Arizona taxpayers.
“In the event that we flip, we want to be ready to govern,” Sen. Christine Marsh, D-Phoenix, told The Center Square.
A Democratic trifecta, however, would not be enough to change any of the protections listed in Article 26 of the Arizona Constitution, which goes further than the 2nd Amendment in its explicit protection to own firearms.
