That sounds stupid... I thought you meant like you couldn't have a gun or CC permit as easily.
We have Armslist here, it's like craigslist but instead of meeting for a pedal in a parking lot, you meet for a gun. And the castle law, which can wind up being tragically misused.
Super fuzz clone is cool, Fuzz 1 is Fu Manchu, Fuzz 2 is Electric Wizard. Sounds pretty damn good on guitar, haven't tried it on bass. For $17.00 it's hard to go wrong.
If you put any car into the median your fuqed... 911 is a porche.
I agree with this for the most part as well. Once you get the right tires on the hellcat it will do high 10's, stock.
**Edit** Preaching to the choir, sorry! **
While the durability and component choice matches it's price point, that circuit is a pretty damn near exact replica of the "electric wizard in a box" and relatively rarish Boss FZ-2 Fuzz. When I started digging on EW years back, I bought one, and then eventually upgraded to a real FZ-2 when I found one for a good deal. It does what it does (EW in a box) well though. Worth the $30 or so no doubt!
Word. The term "drop a gear and disappear" comes to mind. As a cyclist (hell, even cager) it's often safer to be out in front of traffic as opposed to along side it. After only a couple seasons of riding a motorbike, it's unbelievably obvious how oblivious most drivers are to motorcycles. Got T-boned once, totaled the bike. 100% drivers fault per cop. Got much more defensive after that, but have been in numerous situations where drivers just don't see you and do stupid poopie.
Now, I'm not saying I don't do it myself, but I agree, hard to "feel bad" for people dying doing risky stuff. When I do that I understand the risk I'm taking, taking all possible precautions (full armored gear/etc) and only do so where there's no chance of bystanders (no intersecting roads, traffic, etc) but the blame is fully on me if poopie goes down. I'm a bit of an adrenaline/experience junky and extremophile I guess. Life's too short not to experience all it has to offer. just imo of course, I understand there are many other equally legit opinions.

Good god! That's the 700+ hp beast right? Unreal. That's got to be insane to drive. Drove my cousins ~700hp supercharged 90's Mustang once, and it was sheer craziness. The Stage II GTI is pretty damn quick from a roll up to 100, but obv not coming anywhere near that crazy mxtherfxcker.
I roll a 2008 bone stock MKV Jetta in 4x4 mode. 170 horses of I-5 power loaded with Pings in the trunk.
No car looks for anything but other cars and possible children in the roads.
Two friends got torn up this fall on bikes. As a kid I saw a guy die when he rammed his bike into a wall. My cousins best friend rode his in the rain down I35 and got clipped and dragged. His toes hit the pavement, but when he finally stopped he'd been sanded down to just a busted exposed pelvis... dude lived, I'd of ended myself ASAP if that was me personally.
Riskiest thing I did was ride my bicycle with headphones in. Then I realized the deaf and slow should not weave between the fast and blind... Bluetooth speaker solved that.

CC permits do not exist in Canada. If you own a handgun the only place you can legally have it loaded or unlocked is at a registered/licensed shooting range.
If you apply for a firearms license (it is not a right) you must state the reason to be target shooting or hunting, if you say self defence you license will be denied.
To put our self defence law into perspective it is against the law for you to have a bat in your car to protect yourself. If you happen to be coming home after playing a game of baseball and some attacks you can legally use the same bat. You aren't allowed to carry anything as a weapon but can use what happens to be around you to protect yourself.
The government of Canada prides it self on its citzens being victims. Your supposed to call the police and wait.

Sorry, you got me started.

Had a brief thanksgiving get together with some family, but got called to do a ton of gigs this week. Playing downtown Nashille. 4 hour sets doing mostly old country and rockabilly covers. Pays pretty good, but I had 12 hours of stage time in 24 which beat me up a little. In total over 20 hours of stage time this week. For me, that's a lot 
Oh man, don't get ME started
In Poland, if someone breaks into your house and you defend yourself and hurt him, you can go to jail for using excessive force, even if you just beat the burglar up with your bare hands. Go figure. And the EU wants to ban the possession of guns because, you know, hurr, durr, bad guys use guns.
...but enough banter.
Megalith clone is back from service, the builder gave me another batch of his crazy ass huge picks. They look cool ,but are completely unplayable.
Two songs finished, time to start the third one and think of finally getting to the people with our music. Extra long practice tomorrow, here's hoping we'll get lots of stuff done.
Damn that was painful to watch.... Lock your bullets away!? You guys all have to register for the privledge or not at all, that's crazy.
Literally in Texas, the only reason anyone from the gov would know you have a gun is if you registered it as your official CC gun, or payed a federal tax stamp to modify it (cut it down crazy, full auto). So yea, if they really wanted to take guns away, they'd have to probably take every house and car down to the bolts and dig up every yard (so many people Bury guns apparently in sealed containers for their proposed doomsday).
this last couple years have unlocked a lot in TX. You can carry switch blades legally and openly carry guns which means also fixed knives, batons etc. I think, need to confirm. A CC permit basically lets you carry anything you want hidden just be sure to read up first on the law. But I guess you can walk around town looking like you're out to hunt Predator, and no one should legally bat an eye.
I don't understand the make it illegal to prevent criminals from getting guns... Because since when does law stop them? Even without the looming 3D printer revolution, there's always someone willing to get and sell illegal stuff, be it weed or an AK.
Personally, I propose to anyone I talk to that everyone in America should be given a gun on their 18th birthday, and required to carry it at all times by law. By my figuring, all the nuts, criminals, and stupid people will be cleaned from society in roughly 2 years, and Americans would be a damn sight more polite to each other.
Tire iron it is then.
I was stranded in the backwoods of upper Michigan once, waiting for help to come tow a friend's busted car. Some super shady guy kept stopping by to "visit". This guy raised every red flag that i had, I'm positive that he was thinking of robbing or enacting some sort of violence on me. So, the third time he drove up I had the tire iron in my hand. He took one look at the iron, got back in his truck and drove away. Creepy shager.
Ummm....he was looking to violate your purple starfish.
