Lets face facts NY and most of the NE are the Democratic Socialist states of America. Its not like NY is really even part of America anymore like CA. Down here in the South we hardly even recognize their existence. There is an intellectual disconnect that eventually is going to lead to the physical disconnect. Our guns are never going to be taken away or restricted. Not in a million years.
You need to understand, because it's of tactical importance: Don't be distracted by the paper tiger. The Leninists are only in the big cities. For instance, look at "blue states" like Oregon, Calif., Penna., Conn., New York State. Vast areas of land, with economies dominated by agriculture, where the dominant outdoor sport is hunting, with millions upon millions of NRA-member gun owners.
Many of those counted as Democrat "voters" in those cities didn't even cast a vote themselves—they're either dead or didn't show up at the polls due to age or drug use, and their vote was cast for them by the Democratic machine.
