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.

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

Being from NJ, there is truth to the police harassment. I purchased my GTO in 2008 when I was 23; a week into owning my GTO a State Trooper puledl a U-turn on RT. 38 and pulled me over. The reason for stopping me was he didn't believe I could own the vehicle.
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 do hope your joking about most of your comments. We don’t need more government regulations.

Mandatory buy backs of pedestrian killing driving machines. Quote:
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.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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...
