NYC really is not a city, it is an open air prison. The prison guards are on every street corner ready to tell you to move along if you stand in one place too long and in every subway ready to search your bags on a whim. That is disgusting enough for me to never set foot in that forsaken place again. Take too many pictures with a nice camera and they'll demand to see your "permit". The warden demands you kowtow to him and remain unarmed, you peasant -- don't forget your place.
What are you talking about? That's certainly not the NYC I know. It's a beautiful city. As I said, firearms laws aside it's a pretty sweet place.
The Ethiopian food at 3am was an example. It didn't have to even be Ethiopian, but some of you couldn't catch my drift. Fine, live rurally, but don't take a crap on people who like living in urban areas and also want 2A rights. The, "move out of [major city du jour]" line is old. It also presumes that you can run from every problem. If you're like me and enjoy the arts (or work in them as I do) and have a semblance of culture, living in a major city provides a host of opportunities you and I can't find in rural Idaho. If I can carry a pistol on a farm, I should be able to carry it into the Met (not on stage obviously) but you get the drift. Why give up on NYC? You can, at the bare minimum still own guns there. It's not a hopeless cause.
