Maybe Jim could explain the mindset better than I can, but I will try.

Most people currently living in the east coast megalopolis don't believe citizens have any legitimate need for or reason to own "military style" weapons or ammunition. That is why they pay high taxes for large police departments that will keep them safe from mentally ill, right wing, fringe whack job lunatics in Colorado.

For those who have lived there, can I get an Amen?

O'Reilly likes to hear himself talk. That doesn't mean I have to listen.

Be safe.
Amen! I was stationed in NY (Upstate, not the city) for 3 years. I was allowed to have a rifle pretty easy but when I transferred my Glock up there I found that I had to have a pistol permit just to touch it! When I went to the local SO they said they were "less inclined" to do all that work for someone there on temporary status. WTF? So glad to be back here!
