Sen. Martin Quezada's bill would have closed the gun show 'loophole.'
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Senate Republicans quashed a bid Tuesday to force a vote on legislation to forbid people from buying firearms unless they first have a background check.
Federal law requires licensed firearms dealers to run a background check on would-be buyers before completing a purchase. But none of that covers person-to-person sales. "Criminals do not follow laws,'' he said."It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.''"There was an entire parking lot of police officers that didn't even approach the building because of the type of firearm this guy had,'' Rios said. She said there were dozens of"good guys'' with guns standing outside the Texas school and that didn't stop the killing.
That refers to comments by Senate Majority Leader Rick Gray, R-Sun City, who said mass shootings occur because children can't pray in school.
