The immigrants are not so bad for the most part.

Sure, there are takers among them, more so recently given the political climate. But there are as many takers among other...races as well.

LaRaza which has its own agenda, and gangs who are basically taking advantage of opportunity, aside - the average Mexican immigrant, legal or illegal, pretty much divorce themselves of politics.

Propaganda is a powerful tool. Propaganda makes good evil, evil good. Illegals were happy being illegal, and most of us were willing to overlook it until propaganda told us otherwise.

What I'm saying can't fit in the paragraphs offered.

Take your hunting rifle? In Massachusetts?

Sorry, FRiend, ain’t no such animal in the Bay State.

Rifles are allowed for squirrel hunting only in the western half of the state. I’ve heard the same rules and geographic restrictions apply to bear hunting (with larger-caliber rifles, of course) but I’ve never pursued old Smokey so I’m not sure.

Barring those two exceptions, Massachusetts is shotgun only for everything else.

Hubby and I got our carry licenses a couple of years ago, just in case. Thankfully our town is pretty reasonable, unlike some others in MA. We still haven’t bought a gun, but were hoping to do so soon.

...the bill increases the authorized minimum penalties for third and fourth offenses of illegal possession and carrying of firearms, shotguns, rifles, and machine guns and increases the maximum punishment for a second offense...

Hmmm, there may be some unintended consequences to this new legislation if the penalty for illegal possession and carrying a machine gun is the same as the illegal possession and carrying a non-machine gun.

What’s the tech job market like in Alaska? I’d move, but I haven’t seem more than 15-20 jobs in the whole state that come close to what I do. I’ve spent way too much money on training and education in my field to throw it all over for a new career at my age.

This is about an hour from the built-up suburbs of No. VA. The city (DC) is a bit further but not worth going to (much).

If the link works, you should see decent houses and land for 2-300. Some flatlands, some hilly.

Another power grab that does nothing to address the criminal use of guns.

If laws worked there would be no crime.

Democrats love to use tragedy as an excuse to expand the grasp and control of the government.

I have stop and think about whom I despise more:Obama or Deval.

I know it would be hard because some people cant afford to move, but it would be great if all Conservatives, gun owners, could leave Mass. and leave it with nothing but liberals.
It would turn into hell on earth.

That area is hopeless. Moving out 50-60 miles, my area is 60-40 conservative. Enough libs to be annoying (e.g. the neighborhood Obama signs). Go 100 miles or more to lose most of the libs (except around places like Charlottesville).

I need land. I have six plus acres here, would want more.

Out West, land is seldom measured in acres, but rather in squares - square miles. That’s 640 acres. In my case, county commissioners seldom approve any land division below 64 acres. The county is bigger than the entire state of Connecticut and seems crowded by the 15k residents.

I used to drive over 40 miles each way to work each day, half on a “major” highway. Especially in the morning, it was uncommon to see another vehicle.

Stay there and work to change the place. You aren’t needed or wanted in the south. Nothing personal, but people from the northeast bring bad ideas with them when they move south

All of my relatives are from North Carolina dating back to the revolutionary war. I spent MANY summers there. I know the drill.

Me and my NY accent are planning a move to Tennessee just to piss you off.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why there isn’t
a mass diaspora from that horrible state.

Utah from Provo to Ogden should have software opportunities. Check Logan, Cedar City and St George too. Idaho Falls at Idaho National Labs is a candidate in Idaho.
