Yet there are folks who get it. Folks from all over. They may be rarer in some places, but they certainly exist. I understand what you are saying and the truth and value in it, but I'm a stubborn curmudgeon.
I said they went to Brandeis and then took up theater in NY. I would assume you know where and what Brandeis is, its a relatively well known institution. So yeah, I didn't imply they were from NY, I explicitly stated they went there after getting an education. Thats how NYC maintains its population really, what with all those "born there" folks moving all over God's country as you correctly generalized.
Nope, nothing at all funny about that. That statement is largely true, unfortunately. Something like 85 percent of the crime guns used in NYC were originally sold by FFL dealers in the southeast. The ATF website has a cute little map with arrows pointing from Georgia to NY to descibe the trade, which is where the Georgia comment comes from.
Whenever I meet Texans I can usually find common ground pretty fast, I had a Texan roommate and we got along quite well. It was rather hilarious when he was playing poker online and some Canadian called him out for saying "y'all", and he then asked me what the heck "eh?" meant....
No arguments there. The point is, there has to be a market for the guns, or they wouldn't be going there. If it were not from the current source, it would come from someplace else.
