A nonprofit group will be hosting a Second Amendment rally on Saturday in downtown Phoenix, where Arizona representatives are slated to attend.
RidersUSA, the nonprofit hosting the event, is “a group of constitutionally minded (motorcycle) riders that get together to educate the public on issues that would affect our sovereignty of our country” according to media liaison Mike Sullivan.
Sullivan mentioned that the rally, set to take place at the state Capitol at 10 a.m., focuses on educating the public about the Second Amendment and alerting them to perceived threats against this right.
“We’re going to do everything we can to fight against people who want to take it away,” Sullivan said.
Rep. Quang Nguyen (R-LD1), Rep. Selina Bliss (R-LD10), and Rep. Leo Biasiucci (R-LD5) will be attending the rally to show their support for people’s right to bear arms.
Carol Gaxiola, a volunteer with the Arizona chapter of Moms Demand Action, said she was not surprised to see state lawmakers “shamefully attend” this rally considering they have spent years working to weaken our gun control laws.
