Seems like the trick is to know exactly what makes you happy and find a place as close to that as possible.

Well you have a point to some degree ... I want to move to Maine partly because of the absolutely awesome smallmouth fishing. No greater gamefish swims in America!

No complaints with where I live in Texas ... awesome economy, lax gun laws, fairly conservative environment, low cost of living ... but no smallies where I live ...Ha Ha !

BTW,back to the point, any state laws prohibiting the ownership of full auto weapons in Maine that anyone knows about?

Why would you need a machine gun for smallmouth fishing?

Wow. Where was this? South Africa?

Well, here's the Washington State formula:

High crime + some of the worst traffic in the nation + outrageous cost of living + government officials who cater almost exlcusively to special interest groups = Me saying, "Bye-bye, Washington."

Oh, I just have multiple hobbies ... BTW ... Happiness is a belt fed weapon!

I also do woodworking too, and garden, oh, and have chickens and ducks!

A nice titanium wire spinnerbait is good for the smallies! BUT< the machinegun has been thought of on slow days on the lake ... along with dynamite, hand grenades, and C4!

No prohibitions, just the Federal class 3.

I was also very surprised at how easy and fast it was to get approved for blasting gear and explosives.

Check the laws. Minorities (anyone that is not a heterosexual white male) are not charged with hate crimes. Google Channon Christian.

Default Armed Society

Ahhhh...... I found some people on this board who think like me. People with their head NOT stuck in the sand and brainwashed into thinking that it's whitey's fault for all the "disenfranchised" or "less fortunate", or any other namby pamby bleeding heart approved label for their multicultural darlings who they have trained like sheep to depend on their (our money) entitlements. Don't you just love that word??? Entitlements. Entitled to my hard earned tax money....
My parents (as many others here) were from the depression age. Many poor people, deep despair, poverty so bad you could smell it. Did they gun each other down, invade other's homes, sell young girls into slavery, or some of these other heinous crimes??? Did they disrespect other's property, paint graffiti over any and all outdoor surfaces, throw trash on the steet, feed at the trough of goverment subsidy?? Of course not. Not only that, when immigrants came to this land, they actually learned english. Imagine that???

I'm sorry to hijack this thread. Just was poking around here, dreaming about escaping Mass. and all the "island people" that have infested here. I'll let you figure it out.
And by the way, all the lefties here can call me whatever. I'm a realist. Just know this:
An armed society, is a polite society.
