There was a dude standing on line in front of me and he had an NRA T-shirt on that had a target with a bunch of closely spaced bullet holes in the bullseye. The shirt read "This is my idea of group therapy" The fact that he thought this was clever and not desperately ignorant and pathetic saddened me. I'm DEEP in Trump country down here... South Carolina is a whole 'nother kind of stupid. I was in Myrtle Beach last week and even the touristy tshirts shops on the beach are overrun with pro gun, pro Trump t-shirts and memorabilia.

South Carolina (at least when I lived there) you could pay an upfront fine when you registered your car so you didn't have to get insurance. Most of the states I've lived in, aside from New York, have not done safety inspections on vehicles. They may do a VIN inspection when you first register your car, but after that, you just have to pay the registration fee when it's time every year.

skillzdadirecta Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well considering that I've only ever lived in New Jersey, New York and California, the concept of not having to show that your vehicle is functioning properly and is capable of being operated safely on public roads is not only foriegn to me it's asinine. I say that as I type this post under a smiling portrait of our fearless orange leader at the airport. I'm still amazed that more Trump supporters in the South don't see the irony in them letting themselves be totally duped by a Yankee Con artist.

I remember having to do smog inspections, but I don't ever remember having to do safety inspections for any of my vehicles. FWIW, I've lived in WA, SC, CA, NY, AZ, OR, and most recently NV. The only state that I had to do safety inspection in was NY. Ironically I failed a safety inspection there because they couldn't remove my wheels to inspect the brakes because I didn't own the special lug nut key thing.

ThreePi Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The problem is we're doing all of our thoughts and prayers after tragedies. What we need is some in Congress step up, draft up some legislation to pre-allocate thoughts and prayers so we have those thoughts and prayers before tragedy strikes.

I just want to point out your post is dangerously close to being one that would get you "red flagged" in some states. Whether you actually own guns or not would be irrelevant. A judge could order the police to your house and have them search it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be to pleased with it, but if they feel I am a credible public threat, not just to this fuck, but people in and around my community, my comfort level shouldn’t be a consideration. It would be a waste of their time, since I’ve never owned a gun, and never want to. But they also would never be able to know that since there isn’t a national database cataloging each and every fire arm purchase. For all they knew I could have an arsenal and their attempt to serve a search warrant would be like that shooting in Pennsylvania. They don't know, and they should. And maybe I shouldn’t be able to buy a gun, because maybe I’m too close to the edge of wanting to shoot people I HATE outweighing my wanting to live to see the following day. Living in a civilized society requires sacrifice. We can’t always do what ever the fuck we want. For Republicans “being alive” is the sacrifice we all should be willing to make just so they can own guns. Fuck them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked to confiscate something is to take it without consent or compensation... so, buybacks and confiscations are NOT the same thing. Conflating the two things is not helpful .
