Hobbs Kept Arizona’s Suppressor Ban
As governor she did block repeal bills — muffling-device / suppressor bans stayed after her vetoes.
Legislative gun-grab bills she backed often died. The veto stamp is different — that’s her stopping a change to current law.
Bills to repeal Arizona’s muffling-device / suppressor prohibition landed on her desk across multiple sessions. She vetoed them.
Sponsor history shows intent. These vetoes show what she blocked once she had the pen.
