Ban states are where the most important battles are won.
Nothing is being “won” in any ban state unless it comes from the hanmer of a federal court.

Yeah Ill give Jamie Eldridge a call to help fight against thisAny point in preemptively reaching out to our reps to argue against this shit, or nah? Yes I know the answer is nah but I like to think logical, well reasoned and supported views can have some weight. Then I wake up and remember where I live. *sigh*

it would be nice if there’s already some other case marinating, that once a court goes hammer on it, would just have a direct downstream effect without having to wait the typical 2+ years though.Which is fine with me.
I agree: that's the only way good stuff will durably happen here. Passing this bill makes it more likely, not less.
Even then, the commie states are simply ignoring the SCOTUS rulings. I give you NY and VT legislatures in the wake of Bruen. They don’t fear their constituents because there are no consequences for violating their oaths of office.Nothing is being “won” in any ban state unless it comes from the hanmer of a federal court.
Yeah but that’s not sustainable and eventually they going to get “checked”. Thankfully they went full retard like under a week after Bruen so it won’t slow down the process….Even then, the commie states are simply ignoring the SCOTUS rulings.

I sincerely hope you’re right. If we continue to see meat-puppets get elected and re-elected to the White House, eventually we won’t even have the SCOTUS to back us up. Thomas and Alito have to be replaced eventually.Yeah but that’s not sustainable and eventually they going to get “checked”.

Short term, they win.Even then, the commie states are simply ignoring the SCOTUS rulings. I give you NY and VT legislatures in the wake of Bruen. They don’t fear their constituents because there are no consequences for violating their oaths of office.

Medium to long term, they f*cked themselves. But they don't care, it is all about "today" in politics.
All this junk they try to pull will make it very hard for them to try anything stupid after the courts shut them down.
Exactly, all about today.Well, that and "appearances' and "virtue signaling". I mean think about it most of the laws politicians pass, and to a greater extent, moonbat politicians rarely if ever "do the thing" or "address the thing" they they were supposed to. It's all about appearances, they just want to appear as though they "did something" even though the thing that they did likely indirectly made whatever problem it was..... worse.... but they, the politicians, know that the average NPC voting retard is too dense to really follow the rabbit all the way down the hole...

Mass was a lost cause before I was even born. Staying wouldn't have changed a damn thing. Leaving was the best choice I ever made and I don't miss it a bit. I encourage anybody still there to consider moving north and fighting in our last redoubt in the Northeast.If the people who moved out of MA over the past 20 years due to politics had just stayed, MA would be a bit more balanced. I’m not leaving
Southern NH is rapidly turning into lib Karen land with the cancerous overflow from MA. Take a look at Washington state. Used to be pretty free, wasn't it? What happened?Mass was a lost cause before I was even born. Staying wouldn't have changed a damn thing. Leaving was the best choice I ever made and I don't miss it a bit.

Exactly why anybody holding out in Mass needs to move up. Mass was hopeless 40 years ago. Obviously I'm talking about similarly minded people in Mass, not the average person. NH can hold out for a little while longer before demographic change does us all in anyway.Southern NH is rapidly turning into lib Karen land with the cancerous overflow from MA.

Yeah....no.If the people who moved out of MA over the past 20 years due to politics had just stayed, MA would be a bit more balanced. I’m not leaving

And also, unfortunately, lost.Ban states are where the most important battles are won.
There is truth in that statement despite the numerical reality we face. The problem is that the very best fighters on our side are all leaving. The folks left are either too old or too beaten down or just too unwilling to fight the Godless bastards that want to disarm us.If the people who moved out of MA over the past 20 years due to politics had just stayed, MA would be a bit more balanced.

Take for example the recent MA court decision that having an LTC is no longer an affirmative defense to a carry charge, but the lack of an LTC is something the Commonwealth must prove. Burden shifting back in the right direction.And also, unfortunately, lost.
Yeah....no.
Most of those people moved probably for a better life with 1/4 of the taxes.....more freedom was just gained thru the process. They are the smart ones.
Telling yourself staying and thinking there is a base here that will fight....is a joke. Look around you, only in Central MA is there any chance of that happening, and other than local, we have absolutely no state political power. Perfect example is that Attorney Generals don't even need to have the legislature make laws here, they just make edicts at the stroke of a pen or word, and 85-90% of dealers fall right in line. There is no large gun owner base here, very few are active. Lots of them are FUDDs and believe in the MA system of gun ownership/licensing.
I look at it the other way. The more people stay and feed the beast their tax money, the more things will get worse for all of us left here. They will and do use that money against us...........
When productive taxpayers move out, and vote heavily with their feet, and the state loses revenue to other states, it sends a clear message.......yes, they can keep moving non paying shitbags in and put them in tent camps, vote by fraud and continually get Dems, but eventually you become Detroit/San Francisco.
Let this state become Detroit/San Fran........let it become somewhere NO one wants to live in.
Not just southern. I took my annual summer/fall pilgrimage to Pittsburg last year and was shocked to hear the park ranger tell me they’ve been having problems with a certain demographic from the Lowell/Lawrence area now. Sounds like they typically find a spot on the side of the road, set up shop for a few days, trash the place and then leave. I’ve found the locals up there to be pretty ignorant of what’s going on down on their southern border.Southern NH is rapidly turning into lib Karen land with the cancerous overflow from MA.
