Joe is from New York City.

Last time I checked, the People's Republic of New Yawk was still at least legally part of the United States.

I'm a country boy.

Where I grew up, "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms" was the name of the convenience store (which we called an "Ice House" back then) and not the name of an overreaching gummint agency.
