Sometimes boundaries/imaginary lines are important if there are differeing rules on the other side, such as at secured areas of airports, boundaries at USACE properties, State lines which prohibit magazines over 10 rounds .... or, filling out paperwork to enjoy more benefits on the other side of the line ....
I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the right or wrongness of those lines, but even the Indian tribes and animals have had territorial boundaries since creation.... I guess that's just how it is.... May as well abide by the rules, be legal instead of a criminal tresspasser, so the bigger indian tribe/pack of wolves doesn't bite..... I guess that's just how it is....

I heard on a news show last night that 63% of the population agrees with AZ, but that statistic never makes the news. Maybe because it's a difficult statistic to defend. (who was polled, which demographic, etc).

Whoops! LA Times own poll: 98% of readers think Arizona boycott a bad idea
(And the city of Austin wants to copy the bad idea? )

The reporter then said, Austin currently does not do any business with AZ.

I believe it was CNN

I believe that the city of Austin is actually a colony of the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia. That may explain things.

True, I'm headed to Houston, maybe San Marcos too, in a few weeks, to shop at Austin Kayak (branch stores out in those other cities) because I want none of my sales tax money going to Austin if they boycott AZ, I'll boycott Austin... (Sorry Jeff... Manager of the Austin store)

Anything I can buy online from AZ will be bought there too instead of some other State. I won't mind paying the Texas sales and Use Tax ... I just don't want the city of Austin getting any if they continue on that Anti-American path of boycotting those trying to stop criminals and enforce laws and make the streets safer for those here legally who pay for the service of them attempting to provide better security for us.

I'm considering BOYCOTTING Austin, Las Angeles, etc and buying everything online from Arizona now.

I heard they are starting to collect copies of the Quran that get dropped or lost as some persons of Arabic
descent are coming in through the border at Mexico. (Well, a farmer found two so far anyway)
