Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said at the event, which also included gun control advocates Everytown for Gun Safety, that she'll ask the Legislature to pass a red flag gun law.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema on Friday discussed with gun control advocates the best way to roll out the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act she helped write last year, pledging to help Arizona communities use the law to prevent shootings.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms reports that 30 cases are being prosecuted under the new federal laws against straw buyers and gun running. Ryan Hicks, a student at the University of Arizona, was involved in a school shooting in Washington state as a high school student in 2017. One student was killed and three others seriously injured in that event.
Mayes, who participated in the event, said that she will include passing such a law on her legislative agenda next year.
