Report blames Arizona's gun laws for crime surge

Arizona is one of the most pro-gun states in the nation. It’s a source of contention for the state’s own gun-grabber contingent, to be sure. That’s true in pretty much every pro-gun state.

However, a new report popped up earlier this week as part of a more local story, and it’s something I think we need to talk about. It tries to link Arizona’s gun laws to increased violent crime.

Four murders in the desert southwest last week all tied to gun violence. But are we seeing a new rise in crime or was this just an abnormal week? Arizona has become one of the most dangerous states for criminal gun violence according to a recent report from the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
