Yes...YES! New York really IS safer than Florida!
There should be an exodus of liberals to states where self defense is illegal. New York is such a paradise that only criminals have guns, and they are more likely to sing their thanks for your wallet than to shoot you.
By all means, MOVE to where it is safer! and take your friends too!
and there is no racist photo ID in NYC either! Nanny Bloomberg and his friend the Weiner will be sure to take care of you.
