Arizona volunteer militia members over the age of 45 can now serve, thanks in no small part to Governor Jan Brewer. The Republican leader once angered the far left last year when she signed a volunteer militia bill into law (Senate Bill 1495) which allowed for the creation of a volunteer state militia which operates entirely separate from the National Guard.

TUCSON, AZ – As mounting pressure from the left increases to further limit the ownership of now legal firearms, Arizonan landowners along the Mexican border say the U.S. Border Patrol seems unable to respond to their requests for protection. Jim and Sue Chilton operate a 50,000 acre cattle ranch along the border just south of Arivaca, Arizona.

WASHINGTON, DC – With the Supreme Court hearing arguments today concerning Arizona’s immigration crackdown law, Democrats are busy seeking to pass legislation that would prevent states from enacting their own immigration rules. The legislation sponsored by Sen. Charles E. Schumer (Democrat—NY) would establish federal primacy in immigration by blocking states from taking any action.
