We knew they were coming, and now they have arrived.
My guess is this is just the first wave, meant to foment emotion-driven action based on blatant misinformation (AKA "lies" and "choice omissions"), which will then be followed by the paid Arizona "volunteers" walking around with clipboards and petitions.

I wonder exactly how the bolded portion is meant to work, seeing as stringent record-keeping and running a background check are already practiced by FFL dealer (Federal Firearms License).:banghead:

AZ Central article said:Community leaders and activists joined forces with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence on Saturday in Phoenix to protest local "bad-apple" gun dealers.
The protesters, clad in red Brady Campaign shirts, gathered near Indian School Road and 3rd Avenue in Phoenix, near a local shop that Brady Campaign leaders call a "bad-apple" dealer. "Bad-apple" dealers sell to straw purchasers, or someone who buys a firearm for someone else, a firearm that usually ends up in the hands of a criminal, a board member for Arizonans for Gun Safety said.
Ruben Gallego, the representative-elect for Arizona's 7th Congressional District, also spoke at the event, detailing his plans to work with Washington legislators to create a safer Arizona.
"I want to work with advocates likes the Brady Campaign to make sure that those who get guns are the ones that should have them," Gallego said.
According to statistics from the Brady Campaign, 90 percent of the guns used in crimes across the nation come from only 5 percent of irresponsible dealers.
The protesters called for lawsuits and other legal action to incite change in dealers' business practices. Speakers at the event urged all gun dealers to adhere to the Brady Campaign's code of conduct, which calls for dealers to videotape all gun sales, employ reasonable record-keeping practices and only transfer a firearm to someone who has passed a background check.
