[extropy-chat] FWD [forteana] Gun control [was Re: the roadtohell]

[Thomas FitzGerald]

Hello, all. 
 
I've been lurking on this list for quite a while now, but am finally moved to post by a topic of great import:  New York State is absolutely no part of New England whatsoever. The third southern New England state isn't New York; it's Connecticut. Replacing Connecticut's crime rate with New York's makes me wonder about how accurate some of the other pro-gun stats are....  ;-)
 
Cheers,
Tom FitzGerald

I was thinking of the nineteenth and early twentieth century actually when I
said historically. Is New York a part of New England btw? I thought it was
usually put into the "mid atlantic" category.
