That is great news.
Arizona has seems to have some freedom loving representatives in power.
I can recall places 20 years ago that were about an hour from Phoenix at high freeway speeds which are now part of the same metropolis.
Because it is predominantly flat desert in most of the southern half there really is no end to how quickly everything is swallowed up in the expansion and growth (and therefore decay as well during recession from the excessive growth.)
A giant (and hot) flat metropolis will not likely be freedom loving in a few generations when the majority of the voting population resides in such an area. If we look around the nation the biggest metro areas with dense populations generaly have the voting block most against 2nd Amendment freedoms, and most in favor of rapidly creating new laws and agencies for everything else under the sun (which in turn means more agencies of government costing more taxes.)
The giant metro area surrounding Phoenix, but including many other cities and jurisdictions swalled in the growth is responsible for most of the anti legislation.
Just pull out a satelite map and take a look at AZ. See that giant plaguelike area that looks like one enermous city in the middle of the desert with Phoenix in the center? That thing is bigger than many similar growths across the nation because it has very few natural geographical limits.
The warmth also appeals more to out of state people, which means transplants who bring thier ideas of what type of legislation is normal "common sense" move in much quicker, and not just on gun rights issues, but great restrictions and accompanying bureaucracy on a broad spectrum.
A lot of them from neighboring CA for example.
Montana on the other hand is less inviting to transplants with CA type voting records. As a result more likely to still be free years down the road.
Of course it has such a low population any large influx could dramaticly change its political situation.

Unfortunately at the rate of growth AZ is going to be one giant expensive city before long.
