Would this cause an uproar if introduced?

Why don't we simply ban street racing? Wait a minute. It's already illegal - just like other forms of crime.

Is it me or does the word "ban" just sound so oppressive and Hitler-esque?

OK- for all of the humor impaired people who thought this was real, it was a PARODY. Good catch on the rear spoiler to the "shoulder thing that goes up", that was my intent.

There is of course no such bill as HR 10-200 (10-200 is radio slang for having to go and relieve your bowels).

But read on the surface, does this fictitious bill make any more or less sense than HR1022 does?

I know that certain things are arguably silly (like the ban on all forced induction, when nearly every Diesel engine used for a truck has a turbo). I also know that things are banned that aren't even made anymore (like DeTomaso Panteras). There are also loopholes big enough to drive a truck through, like interchassis compatibility that makes one version of the car illegal, but not another (JUST LIKE the AWB!)



We all know racing stickers and a spoiler do not make a race car.

We should also know that a heat shield and a pistol grip do not make an assault weapon.


(Hmm.. I wonder if someone is going to spread this around the 'net as a "real" bill? Might make Snopes!)

I fell for it.... Freaked me out as I'm fairly into the custom car/truck sceene...

I have a somewhat modified 2000 S-10 Blazer that I used to enter into Car/Truck shows every weekend; till I got married and got back into guns...

Just like current AWB proposals all "ban" the manufacture of the Intratec TEC-9. Intratec has been out of business for years, and TEC-9 production ceased years ago (in large part because of its reputation as an overpriced jam-o-matic).
