Curious to see what fellow THR'ers think.
All things equal (employment, family, etc.),
Does a devoted 2A person stay in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and sacrifice his individual 2A rights (nuetered gun ownership, no CCW, no high cap magazines, certain weapons banned) and try to change the rules, knowing that it may never happen ...
OR ...
...Move residence to a free state and enjoy the 2A?
From an individual perspective I would move ASAP and leave the anti-gunning state to themselves. However from a 2A community position, if pro gun folks flee these states it ensures that the anti-gunners will have a stronghold on it and pass even more bad legislation which tends to bleed into the rest of the country (for instance, DC was always pressuring neighborhing states to change THEIR laws because it effected DC, as DC argued). We really need pro-gun folks to move INTO these states and take over to recapture the 2A.
