Here's the thing...
Any time we discuss states like CT or NY, several of us make a statement along the lines of "you guys in NY should move away. There's room in Texas."
As danez71 has pointed out a few times, it's hard to win rights back when you don't stay and try to win them back. Logic would also suggest that it would be easier to win rights back if you have more angry, howling gun owners in a state writing more letters, spending more money, and casting more votes to remove anti-gun politicians from office.
So are we doing this wrong?
If we want to start and win rights back, should we start moving to areas with harsh gun control and using that as a form of activism to convert them back?
Is this idea even the slightest bit practical?
How many people would it take?
Would you do it, even just for a year or two?
I'm thinking that given Colorado voters' irritation and their willingness to unseat anti-gun legislators, it may be the best state to start with... if we could somehow organize enough people to try this.
