WASHINGTON — If you're planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you'd best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As part of a campaign called Resale Roundup, the federal government is cracking down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products.
The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer.

What’s next......Cash for cupcakes?
Yank the laws which directed or funded the hiring of these superfluous drones.
Some of the good will stores are afraid to sell childrens clothing because of the rules on what 2nd hand items can be sold.
And to think it was over lead IN BATTERIES.
I bought the kids a “Slip-N-Slide” designed to be used with sulfuric acid rather than water.
Does this count as “dangerous”?
I got the one that uses wesson oil...
“There’s a new game going around...”
That game’s been around forever. Or at least as long as I can remember.
So...
anyone doubt my “conspiracy theory” that the elitists that are in our government are trying to discourage large families, or even families in general?
I never really understood the problem with law darts. I hit a kid in the face with a baseball bat once, does that mean we should outlaw baseball?
So, what’s it been called... forever.
Hadn’t seen it before this summer, myself.
“So, what’s it been called... forever”
Bean-bag Toss, or some variation thereof.
Corn Hole?
If the dems had a little more finesse and a little more self-control, they could have done a lot more damage. The mere thought scares the crap out of me.
“Corn Hole?”
I’ve never heard it called that.
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
>>lawn darts can be used as weapons in an emergency situation.<<
My biggest complaint about lawn darts is that they were way too dull out of the box. A bench grinder fixes that up nicely! :)
Ironically, the thing that keeps the left in check when they get into power is their overwhelming sense of superiority...
Oh, my.
Everything.
FedZilla run amuck.
Well Hell !! Where am I going to get my “Readers Digest Condensed Books” if they go through with this. ??
Bastards just won’t let you live.
