Would this cause an uproar if introduced?

Agreed. A very good point, even if my arguement was sarcastic.
 
Actually we in California had already voted down gay marriage once,and the Ninth Circus Court OVERTURNED our vote,and THAT'S what PO'd us off enough to put it to a vote again.I mention this just to clear up the obvious misunderstandings some have of this issue,I return you now to the actual discussion....guns.
 
They forgot those evil black cars. :)

Racing is already illegal in most places. Another waist of paper just like the AWB.
 
my car says it can go 180mph.. but i only point it in a safe direction and never pull the trigger
 
Fast cars are not for driving kids to school. They're good for nothing but killing a lot of people.

Um..... Right. I have a high powered car. Cars and guns for me. I also know many people who have "high powered" cars, and they are completly legal. They drive like one should, and race on RACETRACKS on the weekend. Nothing wrong with that.



BTW, banning turbos would be VERY bad, as almost all desiel cars/trucks use turbos. To make the engine actuallyt work efficiantly.
 
If any anybody says they wouldn't mind some restrictions on cars have no room to talk about people that say they don't mind baning weapons because they don't have them or baning a specific type of weapon because of the same reason. You can't use the 2nd as an argument either to attempt to make the two issues different. People rights are their rights. This no different then the AWB.
 
Be careful about comparing cars and guns. There are plenty of officials who would like to:

Require you to have a learners permit for 3 months before you can get a license.

Require you to apply for a license to own firearms, renewable every 5 years, with a written test, practical test, and eye test.

Require you to have insurance for each gun, with a huge extra fee to cover uninsured shooters.

Require you to have each gun, holster, & magazine inspected every two years at a gas station, and pay a tax.

Require you to have emissions testing every two years at a state facility (depending on which state you're in).

You'll show up at your favorite range, and find the government has put up a speed limit of 15 bullets per hour.
 
I personally think nitrous oxide should be banned from all street-legal vehicles, though. Let's face reality: there is no legitimate use for it on a street vehicle, at all. The only legitimate use for it is for racing at the track, and even then it's very dangerous. Any passenger vehicle with such a system installed should be automatically rendered non-street legal.

And yes, I can see all the anti-censorship people coming out against me on this. But honestly, what legitimate reason can you come up with for allowing it to be installed on a street vehicle? It effectively turns the vehicle into a bomb waiting to happen should it get into a rear-end accident, and using it anywhere but the track would be illegal and dangerous. There's lots of good reasons against allowing it, and none for it.

I do hope such comments are tongue-in-cheek. On that note, if it is serious, I will point out one sentence in the second paragraph: It effectively turns the vehicle into a bomb waiting to happen should it get into a rear-end accident. N2O is not flammable. No more dangerous than compressed CO2.

Also, it is already illegal to use nitrous on the street. The system can be present, but not in operation. Juice it on a public road, you can be charged with wreckless driving, exhibition of speed, etc.

To the original post, dude, you really need a hobby. lol. Seriously, though, you did a good job drawing parallells, but unfortunately, many people feel the same way about high performance automobiles as they do firearms and would love to see both restricted or banned.

From my cold , dead hands! Don't mess with my guns OR my cars. Another miss guided attempt at legislating good sense.
 
i certainly wouldn't mind. my car has none of those features.

You don't think that once they pass a ban on high powered cars that they won't come after your economy car, or as they'll call it, your "high-occupancy death trap"? Statistically your family car kills more people every year than high powered street racing cars.
 
I don't think you can put the two issues together, guns and cars. They are two totally separate issues and one shouldn't talk about subject a to justify something in subject b. It makes no sense.
 
........hmmmmmm. [SARCASM]I realize this is a parody, but I will choose to completely ignore the OP's intent (and brilliant substitution)to highlight the stupidity of the AWB by comparing it to another object owned by millions of Americans and focus on it as literally as possible.[/SARCASM]

I like it.
 
Trying to use the nitrous analogy is the same as the antis are using for guns. Why do you need nitrous on a street car? Its only purpose is for racing = why do you need an ar? Its only purpose is for assaults and war? Neither argument is valid in my books....
 
thanks for stealing my analogy I use with the anti's :what: although I usually keep it simple.

murder is as illegal as street racing but nobody tries to ban any type of car.
 
For all of you that say nitrus has no legitimite use, your guns have no legitimate use either. You can go to the stor and buy food, we have police, and the military if it comes to war. But WE WANT THEM ANYWAYS
the government should stop treading on the people and fix the freakin ecomony already

expvideo, take a deep breath. relax. may i recomend that you have your humor detector recertified by the state health inspector?
 
I can't see that getting into effect. They outlawed just about half the cars on the road. C'mon, an F-250 apparently is a street racing threat? :confused: I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to try and go street racing in a 6000lb, 3/4 ton pickup truck. Plus, alot of auto makers are turning to forced induction cars to make enough power, and meet EPA standards on emissions and fuel economy.

And if it does happen, I'm screwed. 650+hp Chevelle, Cobra Kit car, worked Camaro, and (apparently its a street racing threat) a Dodge Ram pick up:rolleyes:
