Thanks for the link!
So it starts.
It’s funny that the Bil is number 223. Reminds me of something else... hmmm.
You should consider the very real possibility that by the time this gets to the SC, assuming it does, and assuming the court deigns to hear it, it is likely that the make up of the court will be such that public floggings of gun owners will be ruled "Constitutional".
Do you wonder why you can’t buy ammo or guns?
We don’t have any ammo or firearms on the market because the same thieving scared NYC Wall St billionaire SOBs we bailed out (that should have been bankrupt because of their corruption and incompetence) are using our bailout money and the Fed Reserve as their funding source to take over manufacturers and to buy ammunition.
They look as it as either an investment (like they did in oil and food) but even more importantly to keep common folk from being armed. They know they can’t pass laws.
You think not, think again. Americans are clueless. They can’t see beyond what they are told by pundits and pols. These greedy xxxxxrs want us disarmed and they are using our bailout and 0% Federal Reserve cash to buy out firearms and ammo before they come for our pensions.
“I intend to move to a solidly red state in the near future as a tactical retreat…”
That’s a great concept, I’ve not heard it expressed that way yet, but as I consider it, that is exactly what “the course ahead” must be for conservatism in North America.
Conservatives — particularly those who choose to remain in the “blue states” — must know and accept that they are living “in enemy territory” that, short of a complete collapse (of the economy and of the federal government), will not change “rightward” on its own.
Indeed, the blue states are going to march “forward” towards the totalitarian state at increasing speed.
There will be no “conservative revival” in the United States, at least not in the entirety of the country. Perhaps, for the near-term future, there can be a “preservation and conservation” (for lack of better terms) of conservative and “traditional” American/Western core values and principles in the remaining red states.
There are reasons why conservatives choose to live in the blue states — career, family ties, personal history, etc. I live in such a place myself (for now). But I fully realize that to remain here is to submit to the governance of the left. And I understand that if I want to be free of such bonds, my only realistic choice is to emigrate to somewhere where the attitudes are congruent to mine.
The only choice — as you have said so well — is to make “a tactical retreat”….
How are they going to know what? After one year the possession of the magazines will be illegal. Prior to then, purchase/sale will be illegal to NY residents. So even if they did sell them to a NY resident, or a NY resident bought some from out of state, possession would still be illegal in a year.
Nonetheless, I imagine lots of New Yorkers will buy them, if they can find them, from out of state sources.
The section of Texas Law providing for businesses to post their property against concealed carry licensees is section 30.06. The required sign is .. um... rather large.
The letters must be at least 1 inch high in block letters in contrasting color. It's an ugly thing. Some cheat and put it in white/translucent letters on clear glass.
But most of the signs that went up initially, both legal and non complying signs, have come down over time. It's pretty easy to avoid those businesses that don't want your business, because there is a competitor who does.
The biggest factor in that was not the business loss, but increase in potential liability. The businesses have been informed, often by their own lawyers, that if a CHL holder is harmed in their business because they were required to be disarmed, the business will be liable for damages, and they won't be able to get anything from the criminal to offset those. That also goes for anyone else who would have been protected by the CHL holder.
