Colt. 45

Another Chance to Oppose the Arizona Gun Bill

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Ya’a’teeh abini,

Please be advised that the AZ governor has the state gun bill (SB 1610)before her to sign or to veto. I urge you to contact her and urge her not to sign the bill into law.

The honoring of any gun is offensive to Native Americans. Guns were used to kill Native Americans and take everything that belong to them. They were used to put Native Americans on reservations.

Please get involved. Here’s the contact info:
Honorable Jan Brewer
Governor of Arizona
1700 West Washington
Phoenix, AZ 85007

1-602-542-4331

Thank you. Have a nizhoniful day.
Ahbihay aka Representative Albert Hale

“Another day, another waste of taxpayers’ time and money at the state capitol. My family owns guns, and I’m embarrassed that state government chose to spend hours on a state gun — even brought it back on reconsideration after it was defeated — instead of changing one word in statute to ensure 20,000 Arizonans’ jobless aid isn’t cut off during tough times. This is absolutely ridiculous and offensive, and it’s even more humiliating that the weapon they chose isn’t even manufactured in Arizona . It’s time for a change.”
