Kind of weird that they took the bus to NY rather than drive down and were walking around with around 14 guns in a backpack.
This means that gun laws in NY City and the surrounding states are working relatively well, not so much for some of the southern states.

ROFLMAO Yeah, the laws in NY and "surrounding states" are working soooo well that those in the areas are buying them on a black-market. Wonder if they are the law-abiding citizen who meekly obeys gun control laws or the criminal who never will? Gawd, you people never add 2 plus 2, do you?
Anyway, I just love that statement seemingly suggesting that the gun laws in the Southern states (where I live) -- and favor the average citizen and the 2nd Ammendment -- are somehow to blame for the total failure of the strict gun control laws in the NE (or wherever) to have the desired affect on their own apparent market for illegal guns?
Why in the hell should we down here give up our own rights just because your own silly-assed laws cannot be enforced (for obvious reasons)?
Oh well, honestly not trying to make this too provincial, but my experience is that such is typical of much of the NE mentality. That is, insist the whole country follow your own follies; which is the ultimate definition of busybodies who never learn from their own...
BTW -- I hasten to add that I have many friends from the NE who do not in the least subscribe to the general anti-gun agenda.
On a related tangent, *laughing a bit in amusement*, I remember an old episode of "All In The Family", with Carol O' Conner and the rest of the cast. Some of y'all might remember this sit-com from the 60's and early 70's.
Anyway, it had a decided didactic liberal slant in message content. But there was this one show which illustrated not only the folly of gun-control, but how -- at least in this case -- the writers of the script were apparently clueless as to how the intended message would actually put egg on
their faces if anyone looked carefully at it all...
As it went, ol' Archie took a stand against gun control and finally gained access to a local TV channel which featured his views. Of course, the whole time, it is quite apparent he is being presented as a backward thinking buffoon.
At the end of the program, he is in the local bar and a couple of thuggish type guys recognize him, and say something like "heyyyyy, man, I know you...you was on TV tonight talking about how we need our guns. I want to shake your hand, man...
At that point they pull out guns and comically rob him. Archie Bunker (Carol O'Conner) is left (as the show ends), with a shocked look on his face, obviously intended to impart the message that he was wrong the whole time.
LOL. Welllll, the problem is? At the time the episode was filmed, the 1968 Sullivan Law was in place (may still be, I don't know), so if it had worked? Then the two robbers would not have been able to get the guns to begin with! But hey, never let such reality things interfere with the anti-gun propaganda. Just like the Brady Bunch does today...
