I'm not surprised at all.
High cost of living, lack of jobs, small businesses up and leaving or closing down, taxes, fees, overwhelming population dependent on state entitlements, blah blah blah.
Lot of people get fed up and vote with their feet.
 
Cost of living where I live - Somerset, is getting retarded with taxes... the town was spoiled for 50 years with 2 coal plants but now they are closed. The residents are pissed at taxes going up every year,and they are just going to get higher and higher. The town needs 100M in upgrades to the water plant,wants a new middle school even tho residents approved a new HS not even 4 years ago. Oh and when Fall River needs a new Diman,Somerset is helping pay that too..talk about a massive shit show...houses for sale everywhere. I'll be outta here when my wife finishes her RN at BCC in May and move to greener pastures and wont look back or have any regrets
 
I've been in Tennessee for 3 months. The difference between the attitude here and MA is like the difference between a leaf falling from a tree and a sequoia crashing to the ground.

My boss told me when I was interviewing that she moved here from Indiana specifically to be able to raise her teenage boys like men.

I spoke to a woman in Bud's Gun Shop with her 9 year old son (yes, I asked) and she said "No way is my boy going to grow up in a socialist country, that's why we're here!" while he was picking out a rifle.

When I took my 18 y/o daughter to buy her shotgun (Mossberg 500 20ga) SHE was complimented by every single person we spoke to for wanting to buy her own gun.

I was standing in line at the UPS Store to shop some stuff and a guy walked in carrying an air rifle (didn't know it WAS an air rifle until he said so) wanting to shop it. A dozen or so people from 20-somethings to blue-haired ladies didn't miss a beat, even when he pulled his Beretta pellet gun out to shop with the rifle. Nobody wet their pants, even the owner who said "I'll pack them for ya darlin' but I'm not allowed to shop them for you, you'll have to go to the UPS facility to do that."

Every single person I tell about MA looks at me like I'm insane. Buying requires a DL, that's it. Carry requires a class and the Tennessee version of an LTC. The cop that taught the class thanked us all for owning guns and exercising our rights. There were two middle-school teachers in class, both pissed that they couldn't carry (legally that is) in school. Lady Radtekk educated them on dressing to conceal, layers, patterns, etc. Openly. In front of the (approving quietly) cop.

It's different down here. It really is. Gives me hope that we're not done, not quite yet. And yeah, I'm glad I'm on the right side of the Mason-Dixon line.

Honestly, the response from the folks in Virginia surprises me not a bit. I may have been born in NYC and lived my first 30+ years in New Jersey, and the last 11 in MA, but the ONLY part of me that isn't southern is my accent. I told Lady Radtekk a couple of weeks ago that "I always felt kinda out of place. NJ, Indiana, Arizona, for SURE in MA. Now, here, in Tennessee, I finally feel like I belong. I'm home."

A coworker told me this morning "There's like 700,000+ vets living in VA, maybe 1200-1300 state troopers? If only ONE percent of the vets push back, the troopers are outnumbered 5 or 6 to 1." Those are some tough odds.

Looks like the Bolsheviks may be starting to play more hardball. Since the threat was anonymous we'll have to see if it was some gun grabbing leftist commie or someone from state government. To tell you the truth, I think it's a coin flip either way.
It could also be LET trying to draw some attention to themselves while stoking the flames of their position. Who knows at this point what info is real and what's not?

In the old days, we were assured that "no one wants to take your guns" they just want to make sure bad people couldn't get them. Now, not only do they want to disarm the People, they want to silence the Press and prevent Assembly of the People. They have seriously jumped the shark of gun Control to 1st class Authoritarianism.

Which is exactly what they do as soon as the population is disarmed.

Yeah, they showed their hand too early, drunk with power from the Bloomberg election buying, now the hangover and they have to try to convince that they don't really mean to say that the Natl guard is going to make sure Sheriff's enforce the Unconstitutional new laws. Well, too f***ing late.

This dude is and has been pouring money into a bunch of pro gun states trying to disarm them, has been doing it here in NH for a while. While I think they are over playing their hand all across the country to their own peril, everyone needs to get active to hold the line. God willing we will beat them back next year and make some ground up in our direction.

The very concept of a militia has been demonized by the progressive left. And this started a LONG time ago - like in the late 1800s, when the miltias were derided as "social clubs" by the people who wanted to do away with them and who were to later replace them with the National Guard.

You see - a "militia", made up of pretty much all of the military age men in an area .... is a real problem if you have a goal of building a "progressive" empire. The militias as they were originally organized and under their original legal structure - could not be used for overseas adventures. In other words - the militia was standing in the way of the rise of empire games in this country.

The militia also provided all the men in an area - with a constant means of connection and communication with each other. Which is something that is completely missing out of our current society. When men get together - and all get pissed off together - you have a much harder time building a big government than if they are all just "individuals" who can be controlled a lot easier.

I posted this earlier in the thread - but at the time of Shays Rebellion (1786) , there was something like 98,000 men on the militia rolls in MA - out of total population of 388,000. Do the math - that's almost 1 out of 4 people in MA who were on the militia rolls. That basically means that EVERY military age male was part of the militia back then.

There's a reason why the portion of the population of males who are militarily active - has slowly and steadily been reduced. There's a reason why we went to a totally volunteer military.

It's all about control. The less people who are trained and active and understand what is going on - the easier it is for the government to control things.

Which is exactly why this whole militia thing needs to spread. And it needs to get back to something approximating the original militia structure - where the militia IS part of the society and culture and the governmental ruling structure of the nation.

The Founders thought that a standing army was a bad thing - that's why they had a militia instead.

Really - do they? Sorry - but generalities are usually based on realities.

So what does it "say about me" that I recognize the fact that women in general are FAR less likely to understand or support the concept of why a militia should exist - or why gun rights should exist?

Exceptions do not disprove a rule.

And exactly what do you think is going to happen here - if you cuck harder to women's groups - they'll stop being anti-gun?

Every broad-brush comment gives more fodder for those who want to dismiss you. You only shoot yourself in the foot. Or in this case, us. Might not matter if all you want to do is rage at a keyboard but it does matter if you're trying to actually make changes. At the very least I won't let silence suggest yours is the majority view here, that part of the flaw with that column was a woman having written it.

The Racist Mathematics of the Virginia Gun Control Bill
This map comes from the racial dot map, a fabulous interactive mapping tool managed by the Cooper Center at, ironically enough, the University of Virginia. Blue dots are white people, green dots are black people, and so on.

Where are the green dots on this map?

The green dots are in the places where the ban will be enforced. The green dots are in the metro areas where the local law enforcement agencies are more likely to have MRAP tanks. The green dots are where no-knock raids happen and people get shot. The green dots are where Black Lives Matter.

How would it work as far as who is in the militia and who isnt? If its a volunteer thing, who is going to want to put their name on that list? If its everyone, then that means youre going to inevitably end up with Antifa and MS13 mixed in along with every alphabet agency there ever was. Im with you as far as feeling people should be more active, better trained, etc, just not sure how it works out in reality. Even in small town VA or NH, youre still going to have informers and feds working their way in.

It's not hard, make friends with like minded people, earn trust, hang out, drink beers and ridicule each other, train in as many ways possible together, and don't put a label on it. Hun, you off to play army with the Buffoon Platoon this weekend? Nah, just drinking beers and talking shit with the boys. Oh ok, have fun!

I've met 3tards and militia wannabes that give each other rank and titles, and even though I'm always looking to meet similarly minded people into training, hard pass. Homeboy with the Sgt at Arms patch on his freedom vest isn't likely going to pass my vetting process.
