Homeland Security Agents Seize Vehicle For Violating EPA Regs

Homeland Security agents are bravely risking their lives to protect Americans from the threat of vehicles that don't meet emission standards.

Fulfilling their mission to protect the Homeland, six vehicles packed with DHS agents showed up in Statesville, NC to seize the Land Rover.

The regulations concerning foreign-made vehicles younger than 25 years are a hotly contested issue. Depending on how literally you interpret the somewhat snarky, just-shy-of-libertarian notion of "Drive Free Or Die" may be an indication of how much this story will make your blood boil.

That's a very long driveway, I suggest .300 WinMag for optimal stopping power, go for vests until things get hostile. Self defense applies when you are being carjacked.

You can't be carjacked if you aren't in the car.

"Carjacking" is if someone forces you out of your car while you are driving it. Otherwise it's just car theft.

All kidding aside, government agencies must stop telling us how to get to and from our jobs and chosen activities.

It's the EPA, and while they may not be 100% correct in this case, they do have their place in car culture.

I have no direct experience with this, but I was always under the impression that almost any rifle round would go through a vest. I'm thinking things would get hostile pretty quick at that point.

Oh, the EPA, a self governed bureaucratic agency that reports to no one but CNN and MSNBC. (Obvious sarcasm should be obvious) When asked if they should even exist, this is my response:

But seriously, they destroy jobs, over-regulate all manufacturing and production to the point that all businesses so involved are forced to send all production overseas, because if they keep their business stateside they are forced to change the way everything is made, meaning spend more money on meeting these reuglations instead of R&D for new possibilities. So, they go to another country, pay much less for labor, continue so-called "environmentally damaging" production practices to a level much higher than previously accomplished. The EPA serves to destroy the US economy and advances in productivity.

Seriously, I hate the EPA.

Not necessarily true, depends on muzzle velocity over distance the larger the round the more the tumble and loss of ability to penetrate.

This is the response I was searching for with my inane comments, thank you for saying what must be said and bringing an end to my "snark-asm'".

I'd think a .300 WinMag would have enough energy to go through kevlar. Something like a 30-30 I can see being stopped, but most modern cartridges seem like they'd go through. Again, having no direct experience with kevlar, just reading.

"Atwerk" - in the process and practice of twerking. Wholly without shame, showing its butt, disgusting and violating everyone, wasting everyone's time, debasing itself, and doing so monopolistically with no way to flee.

"Your government atwerk" is sadly not my coinage as a pun, but I like it: it's succinct.
