I worked at the Phantom Ranch back in the drifter days around, 1972. The Phantom Ranch is a campground/lodge/cabins on the bottom of the Grand Canyon. It is the only commercial facility allowed inside the Canyon... except Hopi Indians sold stuff to visitors who hiked to their reservation. It was a beautiful state; It had the usual mix of people: ranchers, Indian reservations, hispanic villages, cities and towns. There was an attraction to tourists, retirement communities, and hippies setting up artist villages. The character you have given to the law abiding people in the state resulted from an invasion of human traffickers, drug cartel, and violent criminals... and from the LW's need to demonize gun owners. I wouldn't want to live there now but would encourage people like you to go there for vacation. Spend a couple of months. BTW remember the statistics I gave you... Don't worry about disarming the Rs. It's not the Rs you are going to have to worry about. The FBI recently issued a set of statistics regarding crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the United States. The numbers are alarming. * In Los Angeles, over 95% of arrest warrants issued for the crime of murder are for illegal aliens. * At least 83% of arrest warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens. * The number climbs to 86% for Albuquerque. "From murders to suicides, Arizona is consistently among the most deadly states in the nation for gun violence, federal records show."
