PHOENIX (AP) - Gun advocates in Arizona are set to join nationwide rallies in support of gun rights.

The group Guns Across America Rally for Arizona has scheduled a rally Saturday at noon at the Arizona State Capitol.

The rally is one of many slated to take place on state capitols across the country thanks to a loosely organized campaign via social media sponsors by the Washington D.C.-based group Political Media.

Larry Ward, president of Political Media, says the rallies are a chance for the public to see that gun owners aren't scary people.
