Yeah, you guys are correct. I was rude to have said that. I apologize.
All I'm saying is that moving your whole life for something as trivial as gun laws is ridiculous. Like really, that's the hill you want to die on? Head on off to the hills where it's hard to even get decent internet just because big gubmint wants you to jump through some hoops to get a certain firearm? I agree, the HQL is some ******** and I refuse to get that license because I'm not a criminal and I don't want the feds to have my fingerprints just because.
But I'll bet you're all well armed nonetheless, as I am. We all agree on a certain level of gun control, don't we? Or do we honestly believe we all have a right to cluster bombs, RPG-7s, and nuclear warheads? That is government regulation. We all agree it's necessary, what we don't all agree on is where that regulation should end. But that's a healthy conversation to have instead of throwing your opponents out of the window with ad hominem attacks and whistleblowing for nonsense.
But there are more amendments than the 2nd that really need attention and defense. How about the 4th? Protection from unreasonable search and seizure? Isn't this one worth being militant about? I know you've all heard stories of civil forfeiture which actually accounts for more goods removed from civilians than that of criminal theft - that one's true by the way, look it up.
That's just one, though. We could go down the list and find so many more infractions of various amendments. I get annoyed when people pretend like there's only the second amendment, and that's the hill you must stand atop, even in the face of facts and studies that try to temper things a bit.
I again apologize for my original response - it was callous of me. But surely this post is reasonable and something we can more or less agree upon?
No, not really. You've still missed the point on pretty much any point you were trying to make. Once you get to 1 Walmart withing 30 miles things are pretty danged nice. That you're hung up internet speed tells more than you'd like. Once you are out of the rat race life doesn't revolve around the net.
If I could afford to, Keyser or the Piedmont area would be high on my list. Beautiful country, way better than anything East of South Mountain except some part of the bay.
