Folks, look at the date this thread was started. January 20th. That was a bill from the last session, and it went nowhere.

Sinema is a very liberal legislator. She's also young and seems quite intelligent (she's a lawyer and a legislator, and she's either still in her 20's or early 30's, I think).

Unfortunately, she uses her powers for the dark side. Most of her bills support gun control, illegal aliens, and other liberal pet projects.

Luckily, most of them are shot down by other Arizona legislators with more sense, or by the voters.

I wouldn't worry too much about that one - it didn't get anywhere.

So.... if my brother and I go out "on patrol" to try and ensure the security of ourranch against illegal aliensand we are armed, we would be domestic terrorists???

Eh... if they're just associating and carrying weapons, I won't support making a law against it. As much as I feel that what they're doing is a bad idea, it's within their rights to do it, and hell, it's not even costing much taxpayer money. Now, if they start engaging in acts of unprovoked violence, by all means charge them with the respective crime.

This seems to also make it illegal to do a neighborhood watch rounds armed. Makes as much sense to me as giving crack to a crack addict for therapy reasons.:banghead:

Yoo-Hoo.... Anybody paying attention?

This is an outdated thread about a bill that never went ANYWHERE in the legislature. It is not a law (at least in Arizona).
True... but defeated bills have a horrible habit of being resurrected. Still useful for discussion, methinks.
