What if it actually worked? And states who did this showed a 99% reduction in violent crime/ mass murder etc , a thriving economy, all the utopian ideas were working out?  Would this change your answer to this poll? Would you still move to a state that was free America , or would you stay and say hell no, or would you even consider  moving to one of these "safe" states? Again I didn't make this scenario up but heard this when I was scrolling thru videos on the 2a.  I just thought it was a very interesting point to bring up....

I see the spirit in which you are asking this (kind of like Tom_G) so I will reply....

I will consider it but only if you can get me a unicorn to go with it.  I think they've already sighted one in England and Australia. 

I think the very clique-ish nature of the firearms community in Hawaii tends to turn a lot of people off.

It should turn them on.
It's the easiest clique to get into.

I'll raise.
1 unicorn and 2 butterflies.
But it seems the unicorns spotted in England and Australia might make violent crime go up.

i personally dont think it is.  the political beliefs and the willingness with which they're expressed turns people off.  its not the gun rights, but all the political beliefs that many here assume you HAVE to have if you're going to be a gun owner. 

i understand getting on gun owners who dont care about gun rights, but just look at some of the toxic debates that take place on gun forums around the country: abortion, economy, imigration, police brutality, political correctness....its something that, despite how irrelevant it really is to being a gun owner and supporting gun rights, has become very ingrained in our culture and it turns off a lot of new people, even if they share many beliefs.

too many people, both inside and outside the culture, its not enough to buy the gun, you have to buy into all the other prevailing ideas.  part of the problem is, we're so used to being loud and opinionated (because we have to to defend our 2A rights) that we lose sight of what things look like to newcomers.
