Bill Banning Gun Confiscations Vetoed By The Governor!

It's not surprising really.
The emergency powers reform bill that we have been alerting you to hit a bump in the road earlier this week when it landed on the desk of anti-gun Gov. Janet Napolitano (D).
SB 1425 would ban the confiscation of firearms and ammunition during a state of emergency, and prevent a repeat of what happened in New Orleans this past September, when police officials stole the firearms of law-abiding residents.
(You can view this footage at
http://www.gunowners.org/notb.htm on the GOA website.)
This common sense legislation overwhelmingly passed the Arizona House and Senate, but Gov. Napolitano showed her true colors by vetoing it.
The bill now goes back to both houses for an override attempt.
The author of this bill -- pro-gun Sen. Dean Martin (Dist. 6) -- told Gun Owners of America yesterday that the override vote, if it occurs, will most likely begin in the Senate. He also said that Gov. Napolitano will be putting tremendous pressure on Senate Democrats to kill the bill -- especially those Democrats who voted pro-gun the first time around.
The Governor only needs to peel off a few Democrats to succeed.
So your help -- and the help of your pro-gun family and friends -- is desperately needed! You can see how your senator voted when using the roster below to take the requested action.
ACTION:
1. Please contact your state senator and ask him to support SB 1425 by voting to override the Governor's veto. You can use the pre-written letter below -- and the contact info provided -- to help direct your comments to him.
You can find out who your state senator is by plugging in your address at

2. Take action and then please forward this alert to your pro-gun friends and family!

Dear Senator,
Although I was disappointed to see that Gov. Napolitano vetoed SB 1425, I was not entirely surprised. Her anti-rights record is no secret when it comes to her views on the Second Amendment.
Regardless, the House and Senate have the power to override her veto, and so I would strongly request that you ask the Senate leadership to call for such a vote.
This bill is extremely necessary, as it would prohibit the unlawful and unconstitutional confiscation of firearms during a "state of emergency."
The bill would outlaw police misbehavior such as the outrageous conduct in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, which was soundly rebuked by the courts.
Again, please reinforce the Second Amendment rights of all Arizonans by voting to override the veto of SB 1425.
Gun Owners of America will keep me informed as to the progress of this bill, and as to how individual legislators vote. Thank you.
Sincerely,
