While growing up and becoming a car guy in Louisiana in the '60s, the highway dept. (unofficially) paved a ~1/4 mile section of the then-new I-20 in a darker color to entice racers off the street and out onto the freeway. It worked.

Maybe we should ban black Camaros with semi auto transmissions.
I prefer a "common sense" approach more like a 10 day waiting period and background check before you can buy these "death machines", showing ID every time you want to refill it, and closing the "used car loophole". So may people are buying these cars for others with strawman purchases and/or just off the streets, garages and alleys of America instead of thru dealers.

All these ideas should really cut down on the road violence we have witnessed....

I've been pulled over 3 times in the same night on the same road! I swear they were radioing each other to f*ck with me because I was nervous at the time.


Anywho I've had plenty of moments of asshole cops in NJ but I'll save that rant for another thread. Not saying all cops suck, but NJ is a special type of asshole.

I think Russia tried that a few years ago Comrade. When everyone drove a Lada.

I do hope your joking about most of your comments. We don’t need more government regulations.

Not sure about that. I'm confident that a majority of the cars used in "street takeovers" are stolen. Every assclown that participates in that sh*t should be locked up.

Considering all he had to do was radio your tag in while driving behind you to see if it's registered/no warrants/not reported stolen, and then if it's clean leave you alone, I'd have called him out on it then talk to my own police friends about the guy.

It pays to be friends with a cop or two.

You left out one;

Mandatory buy backs of pedestrian killing driving machines.

When I was much younger & had my ‘80 TA I worked at a processing plant in IA. I, immediately after they passed their draconian seat belt law, was on may way home from a typical 14hr shift when state boi yanked me for not wearing one. What ensued was a 30 min game of “What are you doing in IA? Do you have any warrants? Is this car stolen? Has this VIN been tampered with? What’s your mothers maiden name?” On & on kinda BS.

He ended up giving me a seat belt ticket after it was all said & done. The reality stuck in my mind that it was purely a harassment deal because 90% of what he asked me was verifiable by a simple plate & license check. The fact of the matter was simply because I didn’t have a seat belt on gave him “legal” probable cause to screw with me.

The reality was I was simply a young man that had worked his ass off from the age of 14yrs old, left home at the age of 17, had always lived a simple life trying to make my own way, & being self reliant, was being blatantly harassed by some dick with a superiority complex because the “law” gave him the “legal” ability to do so.

Yet people here applaud more draconian BS to the point it’s entirely nauseating, but then they stammer for “Legal reform”.

Really? It’s mind boggling the mental gymnastics people do to justify their messed up perspectives.

This is why street racing is just a bad deal these days.

Keep "common sense" restrictions away from constitutional freedoms.

Stole the guns from his mom. Stricter laws on proper gun storage as to not let your mentally ill son access to them. Should she been able to own them. Law says yes but history says no.

The kid had a history of violence. Those should’ve been in a safe locked up and better laws could have possibly prevented that.

I am a firm believer in the second amendment but the world was a different place when it was written. Should it be removed? Absolutely not but my opinion is better (not necessarily stricter) laws should be looked into.

No sure about that state but in mine there are laws that tell me I have to keep my firearms locked up - More detail than that but that is the gist of it.

But, if the guy stole his mom's car and mowed kids down on the sidewalk it would of a tragic event. No one would require the car keys to be locked in a safe. And, even though events like that have occurred, not one soul is advocating for it.

DC v Heller stated that was an unacceptable infringement on your 2A rights.

Plus, in the case involved, they were. He took the key when he murdered his mom.

Fair enough and true, I just have to make sure a minor cannot obtain and use the weapon or it is "my fault". Locked up is the "easiest" way, but as you stated, there are ways around that...
