Careful when you leave America
Forgetful Women as Second Amendment Champions. It’s quite interesting to watch some of the results of these folks unintentionally violating NYC’s onerous gun laws. The city is quick to call for going easy on them and that’s good, I guess. Now, our congress monkeys are passing a resolution to call for leniency for the Tennessee woman who went heeled in NYC. Or, apparently, our police will start giving people with NY plates speeding tickets or something.
I think Sebastian drew an interesting parallel:
This would have about as much impact as New York asking 1950s Tennessee to go easy on the poor black fellow who happened to not understand that sitting at the wrong lunch counter was a problem.

Except for the fact that this is not the 1950s, and it’s time NYC grew up and joined the 21st century.

Are country has a long history of this… On January 1, 1863 our president made an executive proclamation “freeing” about 3.2 million slaves in the then Confederate States of America.
Governments either have a bit of difficulty understanding the boundaries of their reach or they do things that they know are worthless just to bring attention to it. I hope it is the latter.

BalloonGoesUp, don’t forget that Lincoln didn’t give a damn about freeing the slaves that he could actually do something about in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri.
