Are you ready for liberal white women to take your guns?

ARIZONA DEMOCRATS WASTED NO TIME. Just ONE DAY after winning control of the state legislature for the first time in 60 YEARS, Democratic leaders were already naming new GUN CONTROL legislation as a priority for 2027.

And with Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs securing another term, bills that previously failed under Republican leadership could soon have a much clearer path into law.

On November 4, less than 24 hours after Election Day, Arizona Rep. Nancy Gutierrez (D-Tucson), the House assistant minority leader, told the Arizona Mirror that Democrats intend to prioritize "gun safety legislation" alongside affordability measures and reproductive healthcare protections.

The announcement followed a historic election in which Democrats flipped both chambers of the Arizona Legislature, giving the party control of the House, Senate, and governor's office for the first time since 1966.

During the 2026 legislative session, lawmakers introduced several firearms restrictions that failed to become law under Republican leadership.

Those proposals included restrictions on certain semiautomatic firearms and magazines, additional background check requirements for private gun transfers, mandatory permits and training for concealed carry, and waiting periods for firearm purchases.

But with Democrats taking control of both chambers in January, similar legislation could advance in 2027 without the Republican majorities that previously blocked it.

Gun control advocacy organizations, including GIFFORDS and Everytown, have supported measures such as universal background checks, red flag laws, gun owner licensing, and additional restrictions on carrying firearms.

The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action responded on November 6, warning that Arizona gun owners face a consequential legislative session.

The organization pledged to oppose legislation it believes would infringe on the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners.

Arizona has long been known for relatively permissive firearm laws, including permitless concealed carry for eligible adults.

Democrats have not yet finalized their 2027 legislative agenda, and Gutierrez did not specify which gun bills the new majority would introduce. I think we all know what's coming next.

@PaulCiminelli @glassj3n @Blunt_Betty_ Blinded is a good way to describe it Paul. How could so many people not see how horrible a governor she is. At this point my feeling is that there is no hope for New York. You made the right decision along with many of my friends and got out.

The ease at which Hochul lies here is wild.

New York BANNED natural gas extraction, won’t allow gas hookups to new construction, CLOSED Indian Point nuclear site, is BLOCKING Constitution Pipeline, set expensive climate goals Albany politicians know can’t be reached, and has electric rates MASSIVELY above national average.

When my grandparents came here from Italy, nobody was kissing their asses trying to make them comfortable.

There was no “press 2 for Italian.” No expectation that the cashier, bank teller, or guy at the DMV spoke Italian. And they sure as fck didn’t demand it.

They learned English, worked their asses off, raised their families, and became proud Americans. They never forgot their roots, but they understood something we’ve apparently forgotten.

They came to America. America didn’t come to them.

Now expecting people to learn English is somehow controversial?

Give me a friggin break.

Be proud of your heritage. Speak whatever language you want at home. But don’t expect an entire country to adapt to you.

My grandparents came here to become Americans, not to turn America into Italy.

And I refuse to apologize for believing that still matters.

The USA mid terms are a simple choice. Do you choose the United States of America? Or do you choose the tragic state of France or the UK.

Choose America. Choose the place you are blessed to call home.

@20th_Centurygal Showing my age Amy, the very first time I saw Bruce Springsteen, right after “Born To Run” was released.
The energy of that performance was unbelievable and has remained with me since 1976.

This snake is the Fauci of politics. He creates the division, and then profits by wondering where it came from.
