AZ new law is basically the same as the existing federal law. AZ has a right to protect its citizens if the fed won't. If Mexican drug gangs were coming across the border and stealing/killing en masse, and Uncle Sam did nothing to stop it, do you think a state has a right to send police/troops to the border to stop that?

States limiting gun ownership is just as bad as the state of AZ trying to require citizens to prove their citizenship on demand. It is not acceptable to incrementally erode rights that are specifically protected.
