After Tucson Shootings, Ariz. Republicans Push for Guns on School Campuses
Gun rights advocates aren't letting a shooting that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) in the hospital slow them down.

Republicans in the Arizona State Legislature are planning to move forward with several bills that would expand gun rights. One bill aimed to allow college and university faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus.

Utah is currently the only state to currently allow concealed weapons on campuses. The National Conference of State Legislature noted that 24 states have outright bans.

Arizona Republicans also wanted to expand laws allowing gun owners to display a weapon for purposes for self defense. Another proposed law would prevent landlords and homeowner associations from "restricting the right to bear arms in self defense," the Associated Press observed.
