Sure, and the Clinton "Assault Weapons Ban" was only a temporary Gun Control measure; no harm there either, right?

The point is that this AZ law is the RIGHT thing to do - both for the nation and (more importantly) for the people of AZ. ANY restrictions or delays only stand to strengthen the position of those who would strike it down completely and forever.

So far, sovereignty has been upheld in recent cases so I hope this will be as well.
Sadly, I think that you are right but this law needs no compromises. It's compromises that have gotten us into this position of borders without control. We need to gain positive control of traffic crossing our borders. Anything less will leave us at risk.
