What the Hell is going on in Arizona?

Besides all the crazy new laws they passed in the last two years, just this week they passed a law that repealed the "no guns" restriction in school zones, and now this. it's making me wonder what they'll come up with next week.

I know AZ likes to think of itself as the new old west, but it's just getting insane there with lawmakers apparently trying to outdo each other in outrageous right wing legislation. I don't want to pick on this or any other state, and there are wonderful people living there, but lately I'm almost wondering how they even fit into the union anymore.

I'm puzzled.
