“NY, MD, CT, NJ, NH, D.C., RI, MA, and IL”
I would say that’s a fairly complete EASTERN list of no-go areas...
And soon we get into a contest of who can outsnoot the rest. Oh look at me I am so special! I am so particular I won’t even set foot on the globe!
OK, being facetious.
But if there were a philosophy destined to turn the United States into the Completely Untied States that would be it.
Seriously, why let a bunch of jerks snatch away seriously large regions of territory. We *ARE* thinking about the good of the USA aren’t we? Not necessarily of our atomized selves? We are so afraid we’ll get cooties from liberals that we won’t even go where liberals ARE and so we cede great areas to liberals.
To me, redneck land is wherever I go. (There are a fair number of redneck outposts in Maryland. I’ve seen them.) And I feel more sorry for the asses than I feel mad at them. Sure that was a stink situation, but look at the big picture — there is going to be blowback just from the way they are treating guns. The more they treat guns as horrible things that will jump up and do dastardly deeds all on their lonesome, the more they will be scared of them. Their cowardly finickiness will punish itself.
