[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 789461, member: 10291"] I understand your frustration having had to move to Massachusetts due to my job. It's a terrible feeling living in a state that you absolutely hate and are helpless to effect the irrational behavior of idiotic politicians(there are a few exceptions but they can't be counted on one hand). Only aspect that is a bright light is GOAL, the Gun Owners Action League, that keeps some level of sanity alive and fights hard for our rights. The same issue that plagues our country, plagues states like Massachusetts. There are enough resident gun owners to crush the ambitions of these people that want our guns, but they are generally silent until it's too late or not at all. Less than 5% of the gun owners in this country belong to the NRA. Similar stats apply to GoAL in our state. Any chance of the Obama/local state agendas being crushed will be the effect of the NRA, and other gun Association's lobby power. If just 20% of 60+ million gun owners were members of the NRA we wouldn't be having this discussion. If the OP thinks he will be safe in Vermont, better think twice. This blue state actually has a Rep that is a publicly declared socialist with a very strong voice. They caved in on health care. It's only a matter of time before Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire follows suite under the current wave. I apologize for the rant and hate to sound so negative, but the only way for us to keep our rights is to get all of us active. IMO. [/QUOTE]
