In Arizona any law-abiding person can carry a handgun, either concealed or visibly. Assault weapons with large ammunition clips are allowed, (in most if not all states), and Arizona will very soon vote on a measure to allow guns on college campuses which are currently prohibiting it. About the only weapons illegal are machine guns and sawed-off shotguns.
After each presidential assassination attempt, there is a law or two tightening gun ownership and then it expires; as in the Brady Law after President Reagan was shot. Then we go back to "normal".
The weapons industry is probably the most politically powerful organization in America. The Democrats have dropped any attempt to pass gun laws many yeasrs ago. It was a political loser and would have made them extinct in all but a handful of states. Apparently, it's what we are.
