I think our colleague from Minnesota makes excellent points, points worth echoing, because I can attest in the Sixth District of Arizona, a district in square mileage which is a little larger than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with vast rural areas, with not a great population density in those 46,000 square miles, we are finding similar problems in the rural areas in the less densely populated areas.

I dare say that gangs, part and parcel of our drug problem, seem to be replicating or franchising far faster than any reputable business organization. Now it is coming into rural, sparsely populated Arizona. We have many of the same problems and, indeed, both of my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, have addressed this point. We have to ask this question as well: One of the undergirding concepts of western law and, indeed, whether it is British or American case law, is the notion of what is reasonable.
