        Pretty sure it’d still be illegal and someone would eventually shoot you. ATF just shoots your dog before they shoot you because they can’t tell the difference between a carbine pistol chambered in 5.56 with a wrist brace and a short barreled rifle.

        I mean, they’re almost functionally identical, but that’s what happens when there’s an arms race between gun makers skirting illegality by technicality and the atf trying to plug gaps. Either way though, dog shot.

          see this bullshit right here…

          mate, the 5.56 wrist braced ‘pistol’ is built with the same fucking 5.56 receiver, you’ve cut down a rifle for specious and bullshit reasons to evade legislation that was stupid in the first place.

          all built on the absurd idea that we need a heavily armed populace to reduce crime. this shit should have ended in the 90s. people don’t need combat loads to protect their homes. the hysterical demands of an society deranged by arms manufacturers.

          local yokel pd is much more likely to shoot your dog than a fed.

              I feel like you didn’t comprehend my response. It’s certainly a direct reply to the entire thing - but the gun nuts dissatisfied with the ATF literally put the ATF in that impossible position through chickenshit legislation and lack of oversight - but you use it as an excuse to blame these overworked underfunded feds with shooting your dog.

              You’re angry the atf plugged the gaps, I’m angry guntwats keep pushing for combat weapons in civil society.

                They didn’t. The gun manufacturers are the ones thriving in the wiggle room. Though I am slightly tickled that if I put a foregrip on an actual handgun, I’m suddenly a felon because it magically becomes not a handgun.

                  sorry, should have said attempted to plug the gaps, or plugged the gaps ineffectively resulting in this.

                  man I’m just prior service enough to realize I don’t want full battle rattle on the streets in my home country. ain’t how I grew up. it’s… fucking disgusting how this worship of firepower has made school shootings a leading cause of child death.

                  I can’t fathom how anyone can look at that, understand a quantum of logistics, and not realize - more guns aren’t helping.

                  I enjoy firearms, I dig the engineering involved with making a working, reliable platform but never forget - they’re tools to kill and maim and the fetishization of gun culture has hurt this country irreparably.

            Okay, you know, that’s fair. I personally detest speeding because it is a danger. However, I feel that we are speaking of two different meanings of the word here, and my meaning of the word danger is much different in regards to whether or not someone should be bonded out.

            It could be an accident. I got pulled over because I was just cruising around the loop in my town on a Friday with my cruise control set at the speed limit.

            At the time, my college didn’t have school on Fridays, so as I passed the school I asked myself, “why are there so many cars when there’s no school?” Then I saw the lights.

            I still maintain that the school zone lights came on after I entered the zone since the school busses weren’t even lined up yet, but I was driving at a safe speed for the road itself.

            The cop thought so too, since I only got a ticket for 55 in a 35 instead of in a school zone.

        Can’t give someone a ticket when they refuse to give you their name and DOB. Know your rights, and hold the police accountable, but if you intentionally antagonize and resist the police when they make a very basic and very legal request, you’re immediately on the hook for more charges.

              Right. In this case, it might not have worked. But my point was that the statement that you can’t give someone a ticket without first getting their personal info is incorrect.

                A moving violation and a parking ticket are totally different things. A speeding ticket is a criminal offense while a parking ticket (with rare exception) is a civil offense. The police absolutely cannot issue a speeding ticket without ascertaining your identity, and if you refuse to identify yourself, you will end up in jail while they work it out.

      It’s been a long time since I had to deal with texas laws about firearms, but I think there is a clause about having a handgun/firearm while in commission of another crime. Yup, here’s the relevant one. Then there’s the plate one which is what triggers that ‘other than… Class C’ part of the first one, since having a fictitious plate is a Class B.

      So basically, the seizure they’re doing is legal, although as we all know, *cough cough*, legal ain’t always right.

        It’s an interesting intersection between a sense of entitlement, thinking legalese is like magic spells where if you use the right words you get what you want, and police/government overreach plus late stage capitalism making people think they need something like that to get what they feel they are entitled to.

      This isn’t licking boots, this is laughing about someone FAFO.

      If someone walked up to a cop and said, “guess what, I just robbed that bank over there but I have diplomatic immunity and here’s my International Citizen card” and the cop cuffed him and took him down to the station, I’d laugh at that person too.

      This is basically the driving equivalent.

            Ok let me break it down with crayons because apparently y’all don’t understand that multiple things can be true at the same time:

            1. Sovcit in OP is stupid, annoying, and wrong.
            2. Cops in the US are aggressive, violent, and love to escalate
            3. We don’t have an accurate account of what happened

            Given the above, maybe we don’t have to give the cops the benefit of the doubt and assume that whatever they did to him was necessary and justified?

            The only good guys in this story are the kids, who were probably traumatized by the experience.

              The “victim” here is the one telling the story guy. But you’re right, we don’t have all the facts, but we have some. Like him not obeying lawful commands and getting arrested for it, which he admitted to. He broke the law and you wanna go at the cops for holding him accountable, literally doing their job.

          (23) “Vehicle” means a device that can be used to transport or draw persons or property on a highway.
