I should ask you the same thing...It was you that grouped all of Rhode Island into one big Mafia family, not me -- and then reponded in turn with an insulting post after I objected to your remarks. Being Italian doesn't make you mob connected any more than being Irish in Boston means you know Whitey. I'm both Sicilian and Irish and no, I'm no relation to Henry Hill. You should think yourself before you post. If you going to avoid Rhode Island -- let it be for a more intelligent reason than racism.
Mentioning mafia = anti-Italian?
Sorry, but that's pretty dumb. That's asking us to deny the truth. The mafia is a mainly Italian organization (with Irish and Jewish associations in the past).
The NE as a whole could be considered mafia-infested when you consider how the mafia controls the unions in that area and how politicians deal with unions to get votes and support by granting concession and favors.
Buddy...you can NOT buy a semi auto rifle or shotgun that holds more than 10 rounds (or is capable of accepting mags over 10 rounds) in MA with an FID card. You need a class B or a class A permit to carry.
That means,
No AR15s
No M14s
No AKs
No SKS
No M1 Carbines
No mini 14s
No no FALs
Etc, Etc, etc. If you don't believe me ask your local Police chief, or better yet, try to walk into a gun store with an FID and try buying a AR15!

Maybe you just aren't able to follow along. Let's review, shall we?
Someone (to be honest, I can't remember who) wanted to know about the pit known as Rhode Island.
I, knowing a great deal about said pit, chimed in to call it what it is. In doing so, I used the word mafia, which you took to be a synonym for Sicilian. Who is the racist again? And try to keep in mind that my late grandfather was Sicilian.
Now, anyone - that pays attention to world events - has known for many, many years now, that the mafia is filled with people of many ethnicities/nationalities/etc. Who is the racist again?
Since the governments of both Rhode Island and the People's Communewealth of Massachewsh*ts are as left-wing as one can find in this country (that's the commie-pinko part), and both governments are awash in political scandals involving direct ties* to organized crime AKA "The Mafia", although not necessarily La Cosa Nostra per se (that would be the mafia part) and compared to 30 or so other states where gun laws don't even begin to suck as much as RI and MA's do, that would be the hellhole part.
But as I said, as a slave of your illiberal illogic, the best you will ever be able to come back with as a counter-argument is "racist" or feeling insulted, or some other drivel. You can't even figure out that in one post you accuse me of castigating the mafia, and by your warped thinking Italians (Sicilians in specific). And just a moment later you accuse me of "clearly embrace(ing) the mob"; for saying that I feel love for my family members who were (unfortunately) mafia members. BTW, one of the main tenents of Christianity is to love the sinner i.e. my (thankfully few) family members who were involved with the mob, vs. hating the sin i.e. being Mafiosi.
So do me a favor would you? Demonstrate some intelligence before questioning the intellect of others.
*Whitey Bulger's brother is the former MA state Senate president, and is the current president of the University of MA. Providence Rhode Island is ground zero of the infamous Patriarca crime family. I'll let you do the math.
One last little clue. Try naming the crime family that runs the show in Wyoming, or Montana, or Idaho, or ...
Not to diminish your argument, but that really hasn't been the case since the days of the Commission and Murder, Inc. when Meyer Lansky, Ben Siegal, and Charles "Lucky" Luciano were running things.
The Mafia has primarily been an Italian-run organization with some non-Italian run crews and soldiers, such as Whitey Bulger's. No one who isn't Italian gets "made" though.
Italians have formed alliances w/ the "Redfellas," Columbians, Mexicans, etc., but they aren't really part of the organization.

Big "M" mafia yes, but for years now many people have used the small "m" mafia as a synonym for oganized crime in general.
When one considers that real mobsters abhor the word "Mafia", and use "La Cosa Nostra" (our thing) on those rare occassions that they mention their organization at all, one can see how foolishly adrift this whole thread has become.
A pro-gun person asked a simple question about whether or not to move to one of the most anti-gun states in the Union. The most obvious answer is: "only if they have a gun to the head of your wife, and/or children".
Ugh.

Unlike you JMBG29 -- I don't have to way, way, way, back in my family to find the Italian bloodline. I just got to look to my mother and her side of the family -- and of course my cousins that are still there -- teachers and lawyers by the way. So in other words, my mother and I were referred to as 'Meddicanni by the residents when we went back to visit the my relatives -- Sicilians that left the island to live abroad and returned. You would be called American....which explains why you continue to post this mob dribble like you think I don't know about it and ignore that you've made offense remarks -- or maybe just don't care.
But since you're trying to impress me, the Mafia is in fact technically Chinese and existed there long before it showed in Italy. As far as this country goes, the Hispanic, Chinese, and Russians are larger now than the Italian mob ever was. Not that I give a damn one way or the other -- nor do the residents of Rhode Island that you claim are all connected.
