More than 100 irate Las Vegas newcomers crowded into a meeting room at the Aliante Public Library on the evening of Feb. 13, jeering, heckling and throwing things at elected officials and Clark County staff invited to explain plans – 24 years in the works – to build a 900-acre shooting park in the empty desert north of town.Got that? "Irate newcomers."
Heartland Institute put out an interesting article about how people are fleeing more repressive states, and this map is pretty instructive.
Idiots foul their own nests and then seek refuge in places that haven't, and then try to impose the same crap that messed things up in the first place. It's because they just don't really want to live without controls--or allow you to do so either. And coming from an entitlement mindframe, they expect you to adapt to them.
Damn goobacks.

Here in Idaho, we call such dirtbags "Kalifornians".
I couldn't be happier to see such diseases eradicated.
C.H.
Now, now--not all California expatriates are necessarily more leftist than the areas they move to--Like I heard tell of one extremist who moved to Ohio several months back...
I can understand why people are leaving North Dakota, but I wouldn't call it, or Indiana, repressive states.
Unless I'm missing something.
What a bunch of abusive bullies. These bullies conducted a shameful display of insensitivity and intimidation. It's a shame that these people think they can defend their position by intimidation and deprive others their clear rights to property, right to arms, and due process.

David,
Sadly, I think that the example you provided is the esception which proves the rule.
Some of us in Vegas are of the mind that if/when the government range is built, that those in power will use that as an excuse to chase us out of the wide open deserts and into the lanes with a bunch of reckless idiots.
I'm a newcomer, and though I wouldn't boo nor heckle the local government (on THIS issue), I'd almost rather they never get around to building it.
