New York lost more residents – and at the largest rate – in 2023 than any other state, despite an overall rise in the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census data.

The bureau released a map showing the percentage change in state populations between July 2022 and July 2023 – New York stands out as the only state colored a deep orange, a label for a percentage change of -0.5 or more.

      You are legally allowed to own guns in NY state. When I lived in NY most people i knew owned at least one gun, though this was in a rural area.

        Only because the federal supreme court forced them too

          So you accept that people in NY have gun rights, and thus your initial explanation is invalid.

          So, which is it? You have no gun rights in New York, or you’re forced to own a gun? You can’t even keep your story straight, lol.

          Do you mind sharing this supreme court decision? I was unaware guns were ever entirely illegal in NY.
