So 20 people are killed in a crash involving: (1) a vehicle that had recently been ordered off the road due to safety violations, and (2) a driver who wasn't even licensed to operate the vehicle in the first place ... and this @sshole has a brilliant idea that MORE REGULATION is going to fix the problem?

This, folks, is the State of New York in a nutshell ... which explains why anyone with half a brain and an ounce of motivation to run a business has already fled from the dump.

I guess they forgot to include having brakes as a requirement.

The recent limo crash: did we ever hear why it crashed?

I thought most of those killed were Republicans. So why would Schumer be bothered by the accident?

One limo crash and the entire power of the Federal Govt has to jump in. Federal Totalitarianism will destroy us regardless of the outcomes of elections.

If I were to write regulations on the construction of limos. I would require 4 wheel disc brakes with wider tires than the car came with from the factory.

The bigger the stretch. Bigger rotors and calipers, wider tires.

Anything to distract from the fact that the company was run by sleazy mideast immigrants who were caught trying to flee the country.

I watched that halfway through before I realized it was a video game. The graphics capabilities we now have are almost frightening.

Just another shake down of an industry by the Dems. Once those cards and letters (full of campaign donations), the Dems will change the direction of legislative course. That is until the next cycle.

Why is a Senator discussing this? Regulation of custom automobiles is a state matter.

Trying to deflect from the FBI/Informant dynamics for the killer crash? The company and driver were breaking safety laws and getting away with it...

“Dreaming up new ways to tax citizens for the privilege of having their guns taken away. “

That’s easy. A gun and ammo disposal fee. Three hundred dollars per firearm and twenty five cents per round of ammo. Of course they can get creative and combine these fees or just tier pricing. Say, fifteen dollars per round of 50 cal ammo, and go down from there. Based on these rates, if I lived in NY, my bill for disposal is somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty thousand dollars.

And I get to say thank you for taking my guns and ammo away. For 50,000 gun owners that’s a haul of a cool billion.

Years ago I took a Cab ride in NYC.

We had two near misses, one because of another Cab and one because my Driver decided that the Yellow Light means go faster.

It was an interesting experience.

... and (3) suspicious circumstances that would encourage any honest investigator to investigate the possibility that this was deliberate/sabotage.
