Arizona State Firearm!!!!!
By: Associated Press
PHOENIX - A Colt revolver that was popular in the West in the late19th Century would be designated as Arizona's official state firearm under a new bill introduced in the Legislature.
The bill honoring the Colt single-action Army revolver was introduced Monday for consideration Tuesday by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The bill's co-sponsors include 43 senators and representatives -- just under half of the 90-member Legislature.
I enjoy living in this state so much!!

We have a State Gun here in California too, but they are restricted and must be registered as assault weapons…

An Arizona state firearm?
How about a Winchester 1873 lever action carbine in .44-40?
I wonder what Texas or some of the other gun friendly states would have chosen for a state firearm?

I suspect I know which "gun" many Massachusetts and Californian legislators would likely choose.
I even hear that Bawhny Fwank wants in on this decision.

There are so many ways I can add to this. But there are rules here. Killing me.

Rock-On!

One would think they should offer AZ citizens a tax break for owning one then?

Tax break, hell! Every law-abiding citizen should be issued one. We are already broke... what's a few million more going to hurt!
