Freedom vs. Control

Bottom 5 'free' states:

46. Massachusetts
47. Hawaii
48. California
49. New Jersey
50. New York

Top 6 states of 'Gun Control':

1 CALIFORNIA
2 NEW JERSEY
3 MASSACHUSETTS
4 NEW YORK
5 CONNECTICUT
6 HAWAII

Not a perfect correlation but it's pretty strong.

Only the order is different. Otherwise, it's five-for-five.

Remember it is NOT Anti-Gun its Anti-Freedom, just Guns are one of the drums they like to beat.

These are the same people who ban: Knives, hats, offensive t-shirts, private healthcare, alcohol, tobacco, trans fats, salt, happy meals.

They're also the people who claim to be hippie-dippy, but keep doubling down on the War on Drugs, and the other 4th Amendment Violations of the modern Police State.

So Gun Control is just one of the many magic litmus tests that can tell you how "Progressive" your state is. and the more "Progressive" the less free.

Hence the quotes, as that doesn't sound like progress to me.

At least we still sort of have freedom!
We don't completely suck!
It could be worse!

Go Jersey!

Thank for the hat tip and putting more work into it than I did.
