Immigration kerfluffle

Apparently there's a lot of PSH over Arizona's new immigration law. Opponents are bleating that the po-po will start up with the Nazi tactics and start demanding 'papers' from anyone who looks like they're Mexican.

Now some truckers are planning a boycott of AZ by not delivering produce there.

But Hot Air takes a look at the language of the law, and is unimpressed.

It looks to me that the immigration check is a secondary offense, and police only check after they stop an individual for something else for which they have probable cause.

More to the point

I'm going to take a chance today, and link to Tam (but I confess, I saw it at Uncle's!). And you really need to go check Tam out to get what I'm pointing out:

Yeah. Okay. And...?

It's the comment by Weer'd Beard that caught my eye:

That "Yeah, And?" Part is the underpants Gnome "???" for most anti-gun talking points.

"People could carry without a permit!" "Yeah, and?"

"People could buy and own Machine Guns!" "yeah, and?"

Maybe (since we're 'winning' the debate) it's time to start answering all PSH pronouncements with "Yeah, and ...?". Start making the anti-gunners explain how there were hundreds of weapons around the country and no one was killed. Or maimed. That most states have shall issue carry permits and violent gun crime has not increased.

That folks who own class III hardware are the very epitome of law-abiding.

Now, I'm not so confident to believe that more widespread ownership of full auto weaponry won't result in more incidents of illegal behavior, but it wouldn't be the great bloodbath that the anti-gunners would predict.
