This is a serious question for our members out there. Jobs doing exactly what you are doing now exist outside of your state. Your family members can come visit you in another state.

Why give up your liberty to stay in such a place when your liberty is taken your take dollars are going to be used to support such looting?

No bashing, but a serious question.

Our ancestors fled Europe.  That was quite a feat, many of them dying from disease in route--and they knew the odds.  They arrived here with little more than the shirts on their backs and a suitcase that held all their worldly possessions.

Some of my ancestors worked in the shops.  Some went on to be homesteaders.

All my family is here.

My wifes job is here.

The house we bought is here.

We have plans to move out of state some day, not right now though.

Also, I live right in the middle of some of the largest chunks of stateland in the north east. Even though I don't own any land, I can use thousands and thousands of acres. It is too bad the state is run by idiots, because the land here is great and the hunting is fantastic for almost every species.

When we move access to state land is going to be a key decision, I can't afford a huge tract of my own land, and probably never will.

Shocking I know but some of us people have families that like us and we like them, and we don't live in their basements. Leaving behind family isn't easy.

Some people have careers and have invested decades working for a company. Leaving a five figure salary and abandoning a million dollar pension is a lot to own a black rifle.

Often people will own their home rather than just live in someone's basement. Parents will leave real estate to the next generation. Families will live in the same home or farm the same plot of land for generation after generation. The land could be sold but you would sell the family legacy for a black rifle?

Successful people, you know those evil people that the liberals so hate, will own businesses with storefronts, factories, dozens/hundreds of employed with talents, skills and abilities, supply sources, unique things that can't be put into the back of a moving truck without killing them.

And finally sometimes running from a fight isn't the right thing to do.


You love money more than freedom.  I get it.  It's sickening, but I get it.

Now here's what downright hilarious...  The people you've allowed to take control of your lives are destroying the state (and national) economies.  What happens when all the freedom you've sacrificed is for naught because the economic security the tyrants promised has been eliminated?  What recourse do you have?

None.  You will what they tell you to do.  And if they tell you that you must sell that family land to pay a death tax (essentially forfeiture) so gov can fund reckless spending and social programs, you will do it.  If they seize your precious businesses in the process of centralizing the means of production, you'll let them.  Of course they'll let you keep a meager portion for your trouble.

At the core of this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what value those black rifles really are.  They are not just pieces of metal with some plastic.  They are not only worth what the tag says in the gun shop.  Our black rifle keep us free, they keep our government honest, and the ultimately protect our lives and family.  I couldn't begin to put a price tag on that--guess you can.

Took me years, but was able to find a position that they moved me into. Escaped PRNJ and have a different life. When it became known outside the circle of friends/family, most told me they wished they could do it as well. They had jobs that they had equity in.



I think understand both sides of this, and there really isn't a good answer either way. But it bears noticing that it generally isn't just EBR's. It's a culture, the creeping nanny state, corruption etc. Not that it doesn't exist everywhere, in the cities around here you see it. But generally people let people be where I am now. They don't have recycling nazis checking my trash, I am not constantly threatened with fines for noncompliance with some stupid feel good regulation.

I love the Adirondacks, its where I grew up, my family not only lives here but has deep roots. The same lake where my dad taught me to fish, me and my sister played in the sand..is also the location of the first US naval battle in history. And the foothills, fields and mountains where the brits were stopped by a rag tag militia and sent back..During the cold war it was the only location east of the Mississippi with nuclear ICBM's, nuclear armed B-47s and fighters poised to defend the entire country.








Even though those days are gone, there is more to NY than the cities and liberal DOUCHEBAGS who want the whole state to be their fucking socialist utopia..there is a lot left to fight for.

For all you people saying to run away, is that what you would do? Run? Or you would you see if there was a chance to turn things around? To fight the laws first in the courts?

The map of the ENTIRE U.S. is not getting more red, it is getting more blue and everyone is one mass shooter psycho from a world of shit. Public opinion has turned all over this country and the sheep are growing in numbers. Everyone is in this together and it is shocking to see how many fellow gun owners seem to think only about their tiny world when we need to be the UNITED States.

Go over to the NY board and you will see the gun owners who truly give a shit - guys giving away things they think people in NY might need, guys offering to call and write, guys offering to send money to NY gun groups, and guys offering to store weapons until things become clearer. We need more guys like that.

And even though I'm willing to leave I need a new Job, a new place to live, and the money to move.

I moved south to take care of my Dad, then Back to NY (for job etc) so that really killed us financially

we are pretty much stuck here until I can get enough money built up to move again.

Now here's what downright hilarious...  The people you've allowed to take control of your lives are destroying the state (and national) economies.  What happens when all the freedom you've sacrificed is for naught because the economic security the tyrants promised has been eliminated?  What recourse do you have?



None.  You will what they tell you to do.  And if they tell you that you must sell that family land to pay a death tax (essentially forfeiture) so gov can fund reckless spending and social programs, you will do it.  If they seize your precious businesses in the process of centralizing the means of production, you'll let them.  Of course they'll let you keep a meager portion for your trouble.



At the core of this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what value those black rifles really are.  They are not just pieces of metal with some plastic.  They are not only worth what the tag says in the gun shop.  Our black rifle keep us free, they keep our government honest, and the ultimately protect our lives and family.  I couldn't begin to put a price tag on that--guess you can.




how old are you boy?



the best reason i still live in illinois.... my soon to be 78 year old mother. im supposed to abandon her so i can keep my firearms?  should i tell mom she has to sell the house she has lived in for 57 years so i can keep my firearms? are you really going to tell me tell me what price tag i should put on my mothers happiness and well being? sorry son but long ago  i manned  up to be the best son i can be for the mother to whom i owe everything. don't worry i'll pick up your check and keep fighting the good 2a fight as long as im here.




Old enough to know history.  Do you have any idea what others have given up for freedom?  (that's called a rhetorical question because you won't face the reality of it)



Your mommy huh?  Well what happens when her home is taken or she is denied access to healthcare?  What do you think happens to the weakest in societies with economies collapse.  YOU HAVE NO RECOURSE.



You aren't fighting shit.  Spare me your platitudes.



So standing your ground isn't fighting, but retreating is? It's for each individual to chose his battle and how he fights.

This is a serious question for our members out there. Jobs doing exactly what you are doing now exist outside of your state. Your family members can come visit you in another state.

Why give up your liberty to stay in such a place when your liberty is taken your take dollars are going to be used to support such looting?

No bashing, but a serious question.


most don't have a reason to leave....
Do a poll and see how many GD people actually own firearms, let alone the bad evil New York super destroyer guns, and narrow that poll down to the percentage of New Yorkers on this board that actually own them....

I'd bet the percentage of non-firearm owners is higher than the firearm owners.

Cuomo is a political hack. All these guys are . You have to remember they are temporary occupants of their office.

And the next guy will be as bad or worse. You can't outvote the NYC residents and the other dems here. Even when we did look what it got us, Pataki.

The folks in ban states aren't standing their ground, they are complying.  A good "stand your ground" effort would be public refusal of non-compliance (not saying "OPSEC" and hiding) or a refusal to pay taxes to de-fund the Cuomo regime.

Folks love their money and pensions more than their freedom.  Like I said to Paul above, this doesn't end at disarmament--they are coming for everything including your money.  Each of these ban states is on the brink of bankruptcy--think that's just a coincidence?  Your pension doesn't mean shit when there are people in your state going hungry--you have means, they have needs.  Your aren't helping your elders either because the weakest will be hit the hardest.
