Guest Julius Quasar Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I remember the days when parades would toss candies to the spectators, and the kids would run out into the street to get it. A few dumb kids got hurt, now cities are banning that.In the state of California, NOBODY can ride in the open back of a pickup truck anymore, since the 1990's. Why? Cause one dumb kid was sitting on the tailgate, and played with the latch as the truck was going, and the kid pulled the latch, and the tailgate went down as he sat on top of it, and he fell to the street, and was badly hurt. His stupid mom lobbied successfully to outlaw riding in an open pickup truck.When I was young, we played with martial arts weapons, butterfly knives, switchblades, tonfa batons/nightsticks, ninja stars, crossbows, blowguns, and a few stupid kids got hurt with them, and our crappy state outlawed 'em.We played with firecrackers and fireworks, heck, even dynamite and live grenades (don't ask) when I was a kid, but a few morons, both adults AND kids, either caused forest fires or hurt themselves, 'cause they didn't know what they were doing and now firecrackers and fireworks are heavily regulated in my state.Have any of you ever had to put up with stuff like this? Where some idiot(s) messed up, and because of that, it was either outlawed, banned from a school, event, or venue, or not allowed anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FoXXX Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Stupid.

Vy'drach Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 ok, first off, FoXXX, what the hell are you supposed to do when one burns out, and 2, I know Julius, this stuff is crap, because of the North Hollywood shoot out, almost every gun is outlawed in The People's Republik of Kalifornia, if it has two "evil" features, such as a pistol grip and detachable magazine, you can't have it, even though these things don't make a gun more deadly, and if some one wanted to rob a bank or just shoot a bunch of people with a fully automatic assault weapon, those laws won't stop em from getting one, just keeps people like me from having dream guns like the Heckler & Koch PSG1A1 and the Franchi SPAS12.

In your own house!? No way!Julius, this stuff is crap, because of the North Hollywood shoot out, almost every gun is outlawed in The People's Republik of Kalifornia, if it has two "evil" features, such as a pistol grip and detachable magazine, you can't have it, even though these things don't make a gun more deadly, and if some one wanted to rob a bank or just shoot a bunch of people with a fully automatic assault weapon, those laws won't stop em from getting one, just keeps people like me from having dream guns like the Heckler & Koch PSG1A1 and the Franchi SPAS12.I agree there, thanks!When I was a kid, we used B.B. Guns. One kid gets his eye shot out by another dumb kid 'cause the kid who lost his eye was too dumb to duck and the stupid kid who shot him didn't know basic firearm safety, and we all pay the price.

Asper Sarnoff Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The place I encounter most of this is in vehicle laws and regulations. Some incredibly stupid and talentless people crashed and burned when they were racing and drifting their old, tuned Volvo's, and due to that, modifying your car in any way is supposedly strictly illegal here. That's a bugger for a petrolhead like me.Luckily I've found a way round it. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Geesh...... you got regulations out the wazoo out there Julius.We don't nearly have as many regulations here in Missouri, that's why I like it here. We're a Hunter's state, so gun laws are pretty lax, outside the obvious laws for guns.The only weird law I know of in Missouri is that it's Illegal to kill snakes, unless its a life threatening situation.
