Gun Ownership Falling in the Bay State
Well, at least legal gun ownership. David Codrea points out that gun licenses have fallen by 25% in the past six years in Massachusetts, while law enforcement still complain about the number of illegal guns. Massachusetts has been hemorrhaging population for a while now, to such an extent that it may lose a congressional seat in the next census.
Gun owners have been leaving at an even faster rate. Just in the gun blogosphere, we’ve had four out of five Bitch Girls, Denise and Sam of The Ten Ring, and Bruce of Mass No Looking Backwards. It’s no shocker that gun owners get fed up, and flee to states that are more respectful of their rights. The sad part is, the I’m sure the people who have created this situation couldn’t be happier. That is why when the next census comes around in a few years, I will throw a party to celebrate the dwindling political influence of the Bay State on national politics. We’ll see who’s happy then.

Dwingling is the process of influx of career criminals who move into a region or locale where they have been guaranteed a supply of helpless victims due to legislative action and the departure of those unwilling to be victims even if it is mandated by law.

If we had left Illinois expressly because of the gun laws, we wouldn’t have gone to Wisconsin, but when the opportunity arose the gun laws were one of the clinchers. As it is even with a victim disarmament governor we still have more gun rights here.
