If you don’t live in Arizona, then shut up, because the law does not apply to you – although the identical Federal statue does. If that bothers you, then write your congressman and demand he attempt to repeal it. To complain about a sovereign state solving its problems is asinine. That is why we have fifty states, because the people govern themselves differently around the country. I know the concept of the Fed ruling every aspect of your life is one you are accustomed to, but wake up.

Only thing is that on this side of the ocean you have white cops who are scared to question black immigrants because it will be classified as racism and right behind them are black cops that harrass every black immigrant just for money. And in South Africa it’s even worse if you do not speak at least 3 or more of the 11 official languages and yes I still have my fellow black (am black by the way – so am not being racist) sisters and brothers who refuse to work but enjoy harrassing foreigners because they think that foreigners take their jobs yet those are jobs they can not do…

I personally have problems with it and would not like this encroachment of the state into the lives of private citizens. (I don’t live in the US)
However I think you are being willfully blind if you cant see it
1) enacts already existing Federal law into state legislation.
2) is an attempt to force the Federal government to come to the aid of Arizona and sort out the massive problems caused by illegal drug trafficking. (Specifically the associated out of control violence) – A situation the Federal government has chosen to ignore for years.
3) and @ Angelica I have no great love of the police, but have you considered how many of those ‘racist’ cops will be Hispanic?

The NRA and Second Amendment misinterpreters tell everyone more guns equal less violence – somehow honest citizens manage to police themselves, as opposed to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. The same gun law I talked about earlier, that Taylor repeated, also allows people to purchase guns without even a background check if it was manufactured in Arizona. Gun ownership fuels anti-government fanaticism, that some redneck with an assault rifle somehow knows better than everyone else what’s right for our country, kind of like the Tea Party protestors who don’t realize taxes were cut for 98% of working people and refunds average 10% higher than the previous year (http://ctj.org/pdf/truthaboutobamataxcuts.pdf).

I have an honest question, though- why are Americans so fixated on gun ownership? Surely it doesn’t take a lot of brains to know that letting people freely carry around big metal sticks that can kill from a distance at the squeeze of a trigger, isn’t good for law and order generally?

As to your main point, I wonder if that rancher who was slaughtered the other day was wearing a gun? I bet his family wish he had been, he might have stood a chance.

This is not really my argument but if ‘y’all’ really want a bit of northern Mexico in southern America then all I can say is ‘go git it, boy!’
