I feel for my brethren Deplorables in blue “may issue” states.
Battles are fought at multiple levels. federal, state, marketplace , and many more.
I agree. In NJ there are many good Deplorables that, from time to time, get tiny firearm wins though they are few and far between. Further, while NJ is awful on handguns and "assault rifles" and transportation, it is surprisingly good on ammo (though you gotta be careful with hollow points) and long rifles.
It also, strikingly, has probably the BEST homeschooling laws in the nation, which has been sustained by vigorous defense via rabid HSers (and I mean that with love). If both groups could team up it could be potent (though I suspect the overlap may be big).
