Boycott NY?

Some of the gun clubs here on Long Island have been going up to Albany by the bus load to protest. Cuomo said he wouldn't do anything to affect shooting sports. We are the only ones he's affected.
 
NYC has to much to offer to not visit. Lived there without firearms and survived just fine. Will go back someday..food is too good.

Girlfriend just got back from Texas and said she felt like she was visiting a huge garbage dump. Seems Texas spends its time worrying about 2nd Amendment but doesn't give 2 craps about how crappy it looks.
 
New York Post reporting on this.

Angry gun owners in New York are openly vowing to defy the calls for registration of so-called assault weapon that is effective April 15th, 2014. This reaction is not unexpected, IMO, and made worse by the surreptitious manner in which the legislation bypassed customary public comment.

“I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said Brian Olesen, president of the American Shooters Supply, one of the largest gun dealers in the state.

“Many of these assault-rifle owners aren’t going to register; we realize that,’’ said a Cuomo-administration source who added that officials expect “widespread violations’’ of the new law. Owners who refuse to register could face a class-A misdemeanor — punishable by up to a year in prison.

The organizers point to a little-known guarantee of gun ownership contained in New York’s own “Civil Rights Law,” which was ratified the same year as the Constitution .

The state statute says the right to keep and bear arms “cannot be infringed” — stronger than the Second Amendment, which says it “shall not be infringed.’’

Maestro, thanks for the link... that is a HUGE and very important subject that really warrants its own thread. I'll wait to reply into that thread so the conversation doesn't get lost in this one.
 
Apom, New York has nice areas, and not so nice areas. Texas has nice areas, and not so nice areas. It all depends on where your girlfriend traveled.

North Carolina must have something thats at least somewhat attractive to these few companies in some way. Perhaps its something to build upon...

Non-union, low taxes, low utilities, low land cost, a business-friendly welcoming government.....and they are not the only ones
 
So not all NY folks agree with Cuomo. It is the city voters for the most part who are unable to see that they can defend themselves.

Let's see what happens if the societal crunch happens and all of the ne'er-do-wells in NYC start rioting and looting all of those rich liberal neighborhoods - there aren't enough cops (even at 30,000+), to stop a massive wave. All they really needed to do is remember how Sandy messed everything up - add in massive riots/looting, and maybe some of them will start to remember what happened top them in WWII and others scenarios
