This is just the schedule for NEXT WEEK in Arizona, where we've largely had one-party Republican rule in the Legislature for 40 years...
<http://www.blogforarizona.com/blog/2012/02/the-coming-week.html> Among the highlights (or low lights as the case may be) <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/sb1304p.htm&Session_ID=107> Which explicitly bars any political subdivision of the state from prohibiting the discharging a firearm within a quarter mile of an occupied structure. But fear not, you will not be bothered by those hunters because <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/hb2728p.htm&Session_ID=107> <<http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/hb2640p.htm&Session_ID=107> They can use silencers on their guns with unlimited magazine capacity! (lets' ignore the wee little issue that silencers are NFA regulated devices!) And that's just the hunting laws... We have more! <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/sb1365p.htm&Session_ID=107> Which prevent any licensed professional from being punished for unprofessional behavior if they claim a religious reason. Also it allows any business or person to break a contract without penalty, again, if they claim a religious reason. Because, you know, the burden of a religious conscience should always be put on the other person, you know... <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/proposed/h.2168mu.doc.htm&Session_ID=107> Requires cities of more than 100,000 population to implement a plan to allow contractors and builders to 'self-certify' their adherence to building codes. Yep, no more pesky inspectors, just say 'Ayup! I met the code" and you're right as rain. Of course the poor schlubs who BUY these houses and find out when they try to sell that there's thousands of dollars in needed improvements to meet code, well, they're just the marks, who gives a flying fuck about them! But WAIT! Theres MORE! <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/sb1332p.htm&Session_ID=107> Is a bill demanding that the federal government turn over ALL federal lands to the state by 2014. (Should be called the 'Cartman Act of 2012': "Respect mah authoratah!") And : <http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/2r/bills/sb1358p.htm&Session_ID=107> Is one setting up a committee to 'review' and "neutralize" if need be, any federal laws they disagree with.
