2. I see a blank page.
It looks like it was edited about 20 minutes ago, but I don't know what the edit page means...

11. Actually, it looks like the person who blanked it
works for Lockheed Martin. Both addresses that blanked it (192.91.173.36 the first time, and 192.35.35.35 who re-blanked it after it was restored) are registered to them.

southwestern border is continually overwhelmed, I'll sit this boycott out. It may not be the best law ever, but it does something. And it got Washington's attention.

Kinda makes me proud I picked up a Ruger the other day (made in Prescott, AZ)

6. So you're willing to give up some of your freedoms as long as they go after others?
I think that's just a really stupid thing to do.

7. now, what freedoms would that be??
If I am detained by a law enforcement officer, said officer usually ascertains my identity via some sort of offically issued state or federal identification. While it may be (at least to my knowledge) that my state of Virginia doesn't tie citizenship to driver's license priveledges, in some states I believe they do. Regardless of one's color, ethnicity, creed, religion, sexual orientation, whatever, I believe that your citizenship status should be tied to your state or federally issued identification. Then, if you are pulled over or stopped by law enforcement because you committed an illegal act or are under suspicion for such an act (ie traffic stop), you should be checked for your status. This harms no one who is in this country legally. Now, if its abused by some officials, then the book needs to be thrown at them (and hard). But, done right (ie done to everybody, whites, blacks, hispanics, etc), it could be a viable tool.

There are no teeth in many federal immigration laws, and states like AZ are having a hard time as they are overrun. So, yes, I believe that the AZ law, if acted on appropriately, is a good thing.

At least till various Democratic and Republican politicians pull their heads out of their collective asses and do something about the problem.

(AND YES, for those of you who are wondering, Im not all that liberal. I try to seek a middle ground between parties, and I defintitely lean more to the right or left on some policies).

8. When have you heard of some law that didn't fall into this:
"Now, if its abused by some officials,..."

I have yet to see one law tat was not stretched until it became untenable. "# Strikes Your Out", sent a guy in TX to prison for life because he stole a piece of pizza, (I'm not kidding about that). Innocent people living away from their rental property have lost their entire investment because of confiscations in drug busts, not some meth lab thing, but in one instance in MO, a man lost his $127,000 property because he was in FL, and the guy in his house, (a rental), was busted with 2.5 oz of pot.

In other cases, cash has been taken from people who have every right to carry any amount of cash they desire, in one case, a woman going to purchase some furniture for her daughter had $6000 in cash in her car, she lost it, w/o any drug charges, (n drugs involved, she was 59 years old), it was merely confiscated, and when she fought to get it back, the PD that benefited from the seizure won the case.

Every limitation on freedom has in it's wake, those who take it up another notch. When they find out the "Iron Curtain" on the Southern Border does not work, the shooting will start...x(

9. If, if, if. That's a big if.
And here in California you have to have your driver's license which is tied to your birth certificate ONLY when you're driving. Abusive cops are everywhere so your 'if' is pretty lame.

12. Certainly an achievement to be proud of.
Oy.

Now you have more weaponry to shoot at the brown skinned folks, in case any come near.
