    The Democrats of the Red Rocks (DORR) will host “Inside the Existential Fight for Gun Violence Prevention” with Dr. Thomas Gabor, author and gun policy expert, and Teresa Neiberg, from Moms Demand Action, on Friday, May 19 at 9:30 am at the Sedona Community Center, 2615 Melody Lane in West Sedona and on zoom.

    Dr. Thomas Gabor is an international gun policy consultant and the co-author with Fred Guttenberg of the recently released book, “American Carnage: Shattering the Myths That Fuel Gun Violence.”  Mr. Guttenberg lost his daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland School shooting. He is the President of a criminal justice consulting firm based in Florida and served as a Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, Canada from 1981-2011. In 2016, Dr. Gabor published the book “Confronting Gun Violence in America” and has been a speaker at events sponsored by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, March for Our Lives, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

    Before moving to Arizona from West Virginia in 2010, Teresa Neiberg was a career healthcare professional. While she had no intention of becoming involved in Arizona politics, she was motivated by the 2018 Parkland school shooting to become involved with Moms Demand Action, and she is now the organization’s Arizona Legislative lead activist, working with volunteers across the state to encourage our lawmakers to govern with gun safety as a top priority.

      It’s not “gun violence”. It’s PEOPLE VIOLENCE.

      A firearm is an inanimate object.

      Yeah and explosive don’t kill people either right? They’re inanimate objects as well right?

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
