Ok, here's my rant...
Everytime a thread pops up about someone moving to a "ban state", 10 people chime in with, "I wouldn't live there", "don't move", "try living in [state unrelated to question asked]".
STOP
By now, 99% of the gun owners who have internet access know that MA, NJ, NY, CA, etc. are not super-friendly to gun owners. Instead of extolling the negatives about a particular state ad nauseum, how about helping the OPs out? The amount of misinformation out there concerning states like NY and MA is rather staggering. The worst part is people keep reposting the same misinformation. Instead of looking for ways to help the OPs, the majority of the threads get eaten up with "let's dump on a particular state" posts. STOP
So starting today, I'd like to ask you all for one thing: the next time you see one of these threads, try and be constructive. Post relevant links to state laws. Post about legal loopholes in state laws. Post links to other sites featuring articles with people in the same situation.
Thank you... rant off...
