Why is PA different from NJ, MD, NY?

[GunLawyer001]

There are 2 kinds of states: Those with heavy organized crime corruption in government, and those that recognize the rights of the citizens.

Not a lot of Mafia influence in PA, except for Philadelphia. Guess which city is always trying to infringe gun rights?

NY, NJ. . . . famous for their massive organized crime families.

Until Heller, which jurisdiction had no gun rights at all? Washington DC. Do the math.

It's not a coincidence. Look at the crime families that California sends to Congress. Look at NJ sending Menendez back to Congress AFTER he was convicted of taking bribes, which was set aside on a technicality (sure, he took the money and gifts, but the statute was a little vague about what kinds of graft were really bad).

Not to sidetrack too much.
But there is (or was) a small, meaningless, hard to find, town in NJ, for which there is absolutely no reason to go there unless you are part of organized crime (aka Mafia).
So to have friends and family find this town; the Mafia made certain there are signs on major NJ highways and interstates giving directions to the town.

I forget the name of the town. But I think in may have been in the Boonton area. And there have been youtube videos and online articles giving this exact explanation for the signs.

Anyone recall the name of the town ?

Don't worry, it won't be for long. Every asshole and their brother is moving here from NYC. I've run into three new families in my community in the last month. They need to pass a law that if you ruin your state you have to stay their until it's fixed or you die.

Front plates are suddenly EVERYWHERE

The shift from red to purple happens at the local level first. If it can be blocked there, it will have an uphill battle.

Area Committeeman are the key. Vet them and vote accordingly.

Yup, from the Poconos to Bucks County it is all New Yorkers escaping their shytehole that they created, and I will bet they will vote the same way here.#dontmakePANYorNJ

Lansdale got a NY fresh-transplant mayor a couple years ago. He likes to pontificate about BLM and making the police force "more diverse," but pays no attention to the fact that traffic is so bad that sometimes it takes 15 minutes to cross town. He also had no pontifications when a black lady was shot to death in the boro in November 2020.

Bear in mind there are some New York exiles like me that escaped the place after seeing the idiocy of the Democrat machine there.

Maybe not in 2021, but Pittsburgh through Warren and even up into western NY used to be a major Mafia corridor until not too long ago. My family on my dad's side had a few members involved over the years and there are a lot of anecdotes floating around family gatherings still

Why not talk to them and switch them to our side?

There is very little switching anyone to anyone else's side these days in this country. Everybody's dug in. We think they're morons, and I'm sure they think the same of us.
