Are you kidding? That’s exactly what they will do, just as they have been doing for generations! Historically, that has been the primary catalyst for transforming the political culture for decades!
“I don’t know, but let’s just hope these NY leftists don’t move into red states and start turning them blue.”
The problem is that these people are like a plague of locusts - they destroy one area and then, still hungry, move to another area. Having learned exactly NOTHING, they ruin that area...and if there’s enough time left in their life, they go to a 3rd area and destroy that one.
Sometimes I wish that we had interstate limits on immigration.
FWIW, I left NJ almost 20 years ago* and settled in TX - and I’m loving it. Going from the gun-wasteland that is NJ, to TX where there are plentiful gun shops and ranges, and 1.4 million carry licenses, it is like going from Hell to Heaven.
*Interesting story connected with that move. From roughly ‘93 - ‘98, I regularly went with a friend (or several) to gun shows in PA (and even one in NYS), where I bought 20- and 30-round magazines that were illegal in NJ. Once I even had a bunch delivered by mail to me at work in NYC (of all places) where they hadn’t yet caught up with NJ’s draconian laws.
Fast forward to the move - I packed all of my guns, ammo, mags and other accessories in the car, buried under suitcases and blankets. As my (then relatively new) wife and I passed the “Welcome to Delaware” sign on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, I casually turned to her and said, “Well, now you don’t have to worry anymore about having to bail me out of jail.” She responded with pie-eyes and an open mouth, and sputtered a request for me to explain. So I told her all about NJ’s magazine ban. She asked me how many I had. “Well, about 18 inches behind my ass is roughly 200 years’ worth in Rahway State Prison.” She turned pale and said nothing at all for 30 seconds (and let’s just say that this is EXTREMELY unlike my wife). She then asked, “They don’t have laws in Texas like that, do they?” “No, babe, Texas is in America.”
I still enjoy thinking about that conversation - not just because I really got her good, but because it was the perfect teachable moment for her (and she was never anti-gun, quite the opposite, but rather uninformed).
They’ve already turned Westchester and Nassau blue.
