I don't think it's "whimsical", but financial. Many would like to move, but can't afford to move... Wanting to move, but unable, due to job/money is a bit of an issue. Here's some additional stats from the poll:

EastLondonLines‏ @eastlondonlines 11m11 minutes ago The Met Police have confirmed the suspect was wearing a 'hoax' device and have declared the incident to be a terror attack.

"Most" isn't "All".

What, like your bank account numbers?

That's really sad...

Some would argue it's a wasteland NOW, due to Dem control...

Wifey has a marinated turkey breast from the butcher in the slow cooker (but no ribs) and a conventional turkey in the oven.

Well, this isn't going to work out well for the ones that stay here. Think it's expensive NOW??? Just wait... Thanks to the highest property taxes in the nation and an unsustainable cost of living, 44% of New Jersey residents plan to leave the state in the 'no so distant future,' according to a recent survey from the Garden State Initiative (GSI) and Fairleigh Dickenson University School of Public & Global Affairs. Unsurprisingly, Property Taxes and the overall Cost of Living were cited as the main drivers. The results also debunk two issues frequently cited in anecdotal accounts of outmigration, weather and public transportation, as they ranked 8th and 10th respectively, out of 11 factors offered. The desire to leave the Garden State was reflected most strongly among young residents (18-29) with almost 40% anticipating leaving the state within the next five years. At the other end of the spectrum, a third (33%) of those nearing retirement (50-64) plan to leave within the next five years. -Insider NJ "These results should alarm every elected official and policymaker in New Jersey, said GSI's president, former Chris Christie Chief of Staff Regina Egea. GSI focuses on providing "research-based answers to fiscal and economic issues" facing the state. https://www.gardenstateinitiative.org/updates/2019/11/22/gsi-fdu-poll

There's is always more to the story, what starts out looking like a good idea, turns into a monster: Ring, the home security system developed by Amazon, is planning to build a database of neighborhood watchlists using facial recognition technology. Documents obtained by the Intercept revealed that the company is working with law enforcement on a system that will identify people who are considered “suspicious,” and let Ring owners know when these individuals are near their home, using the facial recognition software built into the security system’s cameras. “Ring appears to be contemplating a future where police departments can commandeer the technology of private consumers to match ‘suspect’ profiles of individuals captured by private cameras with those cops have identified as suspect - in fact, exponentially expanding their surveillance capabilities without spending a dime,” Tajsar said. These features are not unprecedented for Ring or Amazon. Earlier this year, Motherboard reported that Ring was encouraging its users to snitch on their neighbors in exchange for discounts and free products.

Which why my FIRST question was, "does he know the guns exist"? The kid won't search for something if he doesn't know they exist, versus wonder what's inside this nice shiny, exposed gun safe. Why is reading comprehension always in such short supply?

I wonder if they make Forumcams...

No, they won't see a dollar of my money: ......"Schwab became the latest financial institution to distance itself from the NRA, following in the footsteps of Citigroup and Bank of America, which two years ago began refusing to process gun purchases or lend to gun manufacturers, drawing the ire of gun-rights organizations. " And neither will those two....

Speaking of crazy theories, did you spend 5 minutes and watch those two videos yet? Or, are you just going to stay with the crazy theories told to you by Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow?

Nah... I don't "read" or "listen" to CNN.

That's always been my concern. I remember house shopping, and when looking at different houses, there were big gun safes in a closet or down the basement in some houses. Doesn't take much thought to know what was in them. Then, thinking further, what if your safe is in the basement, and a HVAC guy comes in to work on your furnace? Or an electrician... or a plumber... or any outside person? How about the neighbors kids playing in the basement with your kid, and they tell others you have a big gun safe in the basement. Or, a house cleaner, painter, exterminator, etc. sees a big gun safe in the closet? OPSEC in that situation is exposed and temptation from outsiders can grow...

Good luck, you'll need to consult with Greenday and have him share his koolaid.

Actually that one caught my eye too, don't know if it's accurate or not.

Does he know you have the handguns? Putting them in a designated "gun safe" just advertises that there is something "good" in there. Maybe consider some of the "hide in plain sight" or concealment furniture, and NOT advertise where they are.

Did you read the comments at the bottom of the article? It tells a different story.

How do people get to this level of power, and write/pass laws, when they have such a LACK of knowledge on the subject matter? ...."Wasserman Schultz joined CNN for an interview about gun control on Thursday, and made the common mistake of having no idea what she was talking about. (RELATED: Democrat Senator Proposes Restricting Gun That Does Not Exist) The lawmaker started off by stating that “military-style weapons” should only be available to the military and not civilians, and then pivoted to talk about magazines. Wasserman Schultz, while stumbling over her words, argued that Congress should be “making sure that we don’t have high-capacity, rapid-fire magazines that allow mass killing and whose primary purpose is to achieve that.” “That’s gonna stop this problem,” she insisted. https://dailycaller.com/2018/03/01/wasserman-schultz-rapid-fire-magazine/

What Pro 2A laws (or which ones reversed) has Trump done in 3 years? What Pro 2A laws did we get when he had a Repub majority for 2 years? There's your answer, like it or not.

Make sure to post the video here when you come back.

Which one will challenge Obama's record as best gun salesman? Wonder if it's time to buy some more gun stocks, they've taken a hit recently? @Maksim, what do you think? ....."Nearly 11 percent more guns were sold in the United States in October than a year ago, according to newly released data. Roughly 1.2 million guns were sold this October, a 10.8 percent increase from Oct. 2018, according to Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting (pdf). The firm also estimated that about 1.1 million guns were sold in September, another increase of almost 11 percent from the same month last year. The arms industry observer said it expects sales across 2019 to reach 14 million, past the 13.8 million guns sold in 2018 but below the estimates of 14.7 million sold in 2017 and 16.6 million sold in 2016. “Sales have definitely been brisk, especially of small concealable handguns. We also saw a spike in sales of tactical rifles like AR-15s and AK-47s, for which I think we can confidently thank Beto O’Rourke,” Justin Anderson, marketing director for the North Carolina-based Hyatt Guns, told the Washington Examiner. https://www.theepochtimes.com/gun-sales-surge-jump-amid-fears-of-gun-control-proposals-from-2020-democrats_3157784.html

Internal pressures seem to be building, and tolerance levels dropping... where's this heading? HOWELL, N.J. (CBS/AP) — Authorities say two women brawled in a Monmouth County supermarket after one accused the other of having too many items in an express checkout lane. The fight at the ShopRite in Howell broke out shortly before noon Thursday. Authorities say a 43-year-old Brick woman was challenged by a 45-year-old Howell woman over the number of items she had in the express checkout. Their verbal dispute soon turned physical, with both women allegedly throwing punches and biting each other. Witnesses said the Brick woman also scratched and bit the leg of a 43-year-old Freehold Township woman who tried to intervene. All three women were treated for minor injuries. https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/11/26/police-2-women-brawl-at-new-jersey-shoprite-over-accusations-of-too-many-items-in-express-checkout-lane/
