AZ law limiting emergency powers

The Arizona legislature is on the verge of passing a a bill taking away power to seize guns in an emergency, ala New Orleans.

Not a big deal in itself -- any Arizona governor who tried to do it would be flung from the Captiol roof-- but I find the opposition interesting. "Tuesday's action was criticized by Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix. "It sounds a little bit like advocating or supporting those militia organizations that are interested in stockpiling weapons and taking up arms against the government," she said."
