Three Republican members of Arizona’s House of Representatives are demanding an investigation by the Maricopa County Attorney of Phoenix city officials who created an ordinance illegally donating firearms to Ukraine.

Arizona House Speaker Pro Tempore Travis Grantham, Judiciary Committee chairman Quang Nguyen, and vice-chairman Selina Bliss claimed that Phoenix’s Democrat Mayor Kate Gallego and city council members ignored warnings that donating firearms “violated state law.”
