Take your skills, wealth, knowledge, and your faith in America and leave.
Just today had 3 people say they are moving out of RI.
Not talking about it. Doing it asap and have or actively getting employment.

I understand that not everyone can do that.

FLA is in my future, but I need to wait a year or two before I can go.   Until then I'm fighting.

Every person has their own constraints.  Not everyone has the ability to pick up and move, as you rightly acknowledge.

OTOH, and speaking frankly, the Anti-gun folks here in RI are "energized" by their victories and likely to come back for a much bigger bite at the apple in the future.

Personally, I'm "examinating" some plans worked-out beforehand.  I'm not a genius, but Ray Charles could see this coming here in RI.  The Miracle is that we here in RI withstood it so long, compared to other NE States.  thanks to all involved in the struggle!

OTOH, RI-instituted lawsuits and possible SCOTUS decisions just might decide things in our favor, as well as being important for the entire US 2A community.

It's a loss at RI State level.  A Battle lost, but not the War.  

KEEP FIGHTING!   We have some encouraging signs from Scotus concerning yet-to-be decided cases.

I have some pre-planned options which might include my staying in RI, but I have other options.   I'd prefer staying here staying here and fighting, but some other plans involve something different.

FWIW, NOT a wealthy person with a ton of $$ in the bank.  Just an average guy who kept his options open.  

I have been thinking about this situation for some years, and I have options.  Suggested some of these options to others, but got insulting and unhelpful push-back.  Well i have viable options, and they are left scrambling.

Back duiring RevWar, my ancestor, Gen. Nathaniel Greene managed to[i]lose[/i[ every battle he fought against the Brits--Battle of Cowpens excepted.

Somehow he managed to "lose" every Battle and force the Brits into Yorktown, and set them up for ultimate defeat.

I refuse to accept defeat, and honor my ancestors and other Patriots.

One of the biggest parts of our decision to move (financial aside) was having a state government that was a lot more aligned with our politics and beliefs.

I could not imagine living there during Rona or what we suspect is over the next horizon.
