Along with the 0.5% rate of population decline, New York also recorded the largest decline in pure numbers, with a drop of almost 102,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census.

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.

      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.
