What further gun law would you employ that's NOT already on the books?! Keep in mind I am in California. We are already very restrictive. What makes the AR any different than your grandfather's semi-automatic rifle (...aside from the way it looks)? Operationally there is no difference. I bust people high on marijuana daily. It's not legal federally and it's not legal to drive while high on marijuana, smoke in your car, etc. People high on marijuana are often involved in DUI traffic collisions; if they also have alcohol in their system I charge them with the enhanced subsection for the combination impairment. They go to jail just like every other drug user. |

I got pulled over by a NYS trooper maybe early 2000’s timeframe and he let me go. Don’t remember if it was speeding on local streets or if I took a red light but I was very grateful that I wanted to shake his hand. He denied it saying he wasn’t allowed to shake my hand.
I’m assuming that’s personal preference but do you shake hands with people you pull over |

Is there a field test for pot intoxication? Or does it fall under the same umbrella as alcohol intoxication, such as walk a straight line, stand on one foot, or whatever?

Gramp's M1 Garand had a 8 shot clip? It couldn't be concealed as easily also. Almost all other rifles from Gramp's day were bolt action (Enfield, etc.) Last edited by Littlebear; 04-14-2021 at 11:30 AM.. |

-Even if 1 allows it, something should be done. Once again, just my opinion. What further gun law would you employ that's NOT already on the books?! Keep in mind I am in California. We are already very restrictive. - I'm in California too as you know. But like I mentioned earlier I have no solution to the problem, I just know it's one that needs to have action taken on. What makes the AR any different than your grandfather's semi-automatic rifle (...aside from the way it looks)? Operationally there is no difference. - Why do civilians need either of them though? The problem may lie in the ammunition they use. AR bullet velocity is like 2-3x than a handgun or something which makes a huge difference on impact. |

I don't know if there is any field test currently in use in the US but it is available. A saliva test is used in the UK and if you have a positive result then you are taken for a blood sample.

" Since 1985 there has been a known total 47 mass shootings involving rifles, mostly semi-automatics. This figure is underreported though, as it excludes the multiple semi-automatic (and fully automatic) rifles used in the 2017 Las Vegas Strip massacre – the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, killing 58 and wounding 546. In fact, semi-automatic rifles were featured in four of the five deadliest mass shootings, being used in the Orlando nightclub massacre, Sandy Hook Elementary massacre and Texas First Baptist Church massacre." Pistols are used in more crimes & murders, but in an above post you seemed to poo-poo any attempts to control cheap pistols. Maybe we can have safer practices for both! |

I know you poo-poo'd the BLM movement, but don't you think black people got screwed by the marijuana laws, especially combined with enforcement like stop & frisk? |

I guess you know all about how stop & frisk was abused by the cops in NYC, and surely elsewhere? |

My buddies who work areas with predominantly whites or blacks will deal with them more. It's common sense. |

On top of that, NYC cops would go up to a black person, demand that they empty their pockets, and if some mary jane came out they would be arrested for carrying in the open. Before NYS legalized small amounts of pot, the Brklyn DA voided many smoking in public tickets because of this unequal treatment. Just one of the many parts of BLM! Murf |

I really enjoy this thread and would hate for it to disappear for getting political. Someone else mentioned it before. I thought it was worth mentioning again. Climbs off soapbox....

Tell that to every GI in WW2. When the M1 emptied a clip it would eject, often with noise the enemy could hear. The race was then on to see if the GI could re-load before being killed. Gabby Gifford survived, but have you seen what her present condition is like? Murf PS: See, I know lots about guns |
