But on the other hand, there is one very non-lefty thing about Nashville that I last knew.
Guns. And shooting galleries. Not at all shy about their advertising, either. Honkin’ large billboards.
And somehow, per capita, the killing rate (in 2012) was 1/4 that of Chicago. Whatever spurs lots of killings, guns don’t seem to be it. No, personally I’m not a shooter, though maybe as the redneck side of me keeps on blooming I might yet be some day just for the fun of shooting some humongous gun, but it seems strangely comforting that my ordinary neighbor, should he or she meet an intruder bent on serious evil, probably could drill said intruder. No run and hide and panic.
Of course, the lefties probably have a hungry eye on that too. Still, it would seem that is one line of standoff that is unlikely to be crossed soon.
Well, between you and the Lord, you’ll have to decide what is best for you. Forgive me, I didn’t realize you’d been in Nashville that recently (so aside from new construction and soaring rates for real estate, except for my neck of the woods, it hasn’t changed that dramatically). I made the incorrect assumption you’d lived here in the ‘70s or earlier when Nashville was still Nashville. Fleeting for me, since I was a little kid then. It was all gone by the time I was 20.
Truth be told, I’m not much of a country music fan, anyhow. I’m familiar with the old-timers, some of which was tolerable enough to me, but the new stuff ? Nope. I wouldn’t know most of the post-1980/90s country stars if they bit me on the butt (except for Taylor Swift, and she can nibble on me anywhere she pleases).
Sadly, even Omaha is being moonbatified, having gone for the Butcheress of Benghazi in November (Lincoln, too). So if you choose Omaha or Nashville, I’d move to the areas just outside so you’d be more with like-minded non-nutters.
As for guns, if we didn’t have the supermajority Republican legislature looking out for our 2nd Amendment Rights, Nashville would go full-fascist totalitarian in trying to keep them out of the hands of everyone but the police, criminals and illegals (but I repeat myself). The moonbat Communist Mayor sneakily ran off the famous Gun Show held at the fairgrounds (because we all know how gun shows always erupt in mass-scale shootings, right ?).
I’m quite familiar with Chicago’s... derangement.
Anyway, prayers the Lord leads you to where you need to go.
