I've seen the Rise of the Nanny/Police-State in many Euroweenie countries, other Socialist bastions, and various Peoples Republics here in the USA (New England, NY, California, etc.), but to see it start to be applied to the ENTIRE US is disturbing.

Keep an eye out for the left-wing maggots to use the CPSC as a tool against law-abiding gun owners and to attack our 2nd Amendment rights from yet ANOTHER angle.

These assholes are going to keep pushing us until there is no other option for us than "active" resistance.

This is outrageous!!! My 3 boys LOVE to ride, they have raced as well as just trail riding. My youngest is an absolute freak about riding.

I am so sick to death with the Government sticking their noses in MY business telling ME what I can do with MY kids!!!

I am calling the dealership we deal with as soon as they open this morning to find out more.

This is insane, how often do these young kid "wrench" on these parts and get exposed to them? Not much IMHO.

But this is wrong on so many levesl.

The small businesses that sell them. Ever reseach the capital cost to become a Yamaha or Polaris Francisee? It is huge, you are now burdening a disposable income business when there isn't much of that to go around to begin with.

But IMHO this the Obamatons trying to culturally change the free areas of the country were ATV's like this are gifts to kids and they become enthusiast of motor-vehicles/sports their entire lives.

What the Bamster wants us all to do is, ride bicycles like the Pee-Wee Herman one he rides, attend ACORN rallyes, or ride an Electric ATV while researching endangered species.....

IMHO this will go over like a loud fart in church in the South. He really knows how to step in it.....

Between the ages of 8 and 12, when I was selling newspapers on the streets, I would stand around the local auto dealer work areas, right next to where the guys were welding, or painting with high-pressure paint sprayers, or banging things. If lead and chemicals were so bad for kids, how then could I have majored in mathematics and computers at college later on?

This has absolutely nothing to do with "safety" of the "children" and everything to do with creeping socialism. We can all predict that, soon, some government bureaucrat will introduce a regulation forbidding handling of ammunition by children under a certain age.

I never realized kids like to eat lead based motorcycle parts.

Simple solution: Market them as motorcycles for "Little People"

Politicians are the only demographic that should be concerned about elevated lead levels.

The good news is the second group is the one that knows how to make and shoot guns !

You are rootin' tootin' CORRECT!

The second group is the one that will gunsmith the guns that need a little fine-tuning; they're the ones that can actually hit what they aim at. They aren't all shooters, but they are hands-on doers. They'll be able to fix the vehicles and the generators. They'll know how to figure out how to build septic systems (my brother built his own!), will be able to build shelter that doesn't leak, will be able to grow and harvest food efficiently, will be able to SEW clothes, tan hides, catch fish, build boats, keep planes flying, will be able to figure out how to engineer things, will be able to keep people alive.

The left in this country has a few of these folks, but overwhelmingly, these folks are center to right politically. If/when it really comes down to the bottom line, those with the skills to triumph are on OUR side.
