Fix the roads, meaning never will happen. Pennsylvania has the highest gas tax in the USA for that purpose yet the roads and bridges are in terrible shape, and before people say "it's the weather" go to Germany and see how nice their roads are, same type of climate. So I'm calling BS!

Moving to Miami would be like going from one frying pan to another.

You just love paying taxes and getting nothing in return for it? I sure don't. I would rather use that money for ammo and craft beer.

I also have a bunch of cars, is that scarier for you? Owning cars, guns and alcohol?

Don't forget the thousands of rounds sitting in boxes.

Did I say I was "scared"? But, yeah. Add "a bunch of cars" to the alcohol and firearms ... winning combination if ever there was one ...

How about watches? And shoes? I have a nice collection of those. That's a pretty winning combo.

Or are you implying that I drive around, drinking and shooting off guns? Lol, get a grip.

The new gun laws range from ridiculous to wtf. The black market will thrive. The insane concept of a forced registry? The only people going to get busted on most of these gun laws are old timers that haven't bought a gun in decades and don't know the new insanity.

But it's no longer a felony to steal a gun less than a grand. So, there's that.

Tis’ a winning combo. Sounds like a normal guy to me.

Good luck with your new location. Eventually, wherever you go, they'll pick up on California's laws too. It's just a matter of time.
Identify whatever you want, but it can't change DNA.

So glad I left CA in my rear view mirror years ago. This open minded person can't understand how climate change fanatics shriek that you can't ignore science, yet are the same folks that want to ignore science....
