don't take a bus

OH, I meant GUN! Rifle ownership is EASIER! There are FEDERAL laws against GUN ownership, but they mostly don't affect rifles. If it is LARGE enough and doesn't have too many rounds, it is generally OK. MINE was a pistol with 16+1, so it breaks BOTH limits, and IS illegal, in the US!! !! ! GRANTED, texas MIGHT allow me to carry it now. California WON'T. NO state in the US will allow me to buy a new clip, or buy/sell a similar gun.

I thought there was no problem selling exsisting stocks of 15+ round mags. No new
manufacting is permitted. Its rediculoius and I have never used it but I have a 30 round
mag for a pistol and yes it stick many inches below the handgrip

I tried to learn to drive for years and couldn't. My problem was definitely inattention. I was pretty much okay with operating the car; it was reading the road I had trouble with. I just wouldn't see obvious things (road signs, nearby vehicles, etc.)

I quite like buses in themselves, I just don't like most of the other people that use them. A quiet bus with only a few other people is an enjoyable journey for me. When it gets crowded and filled with people talking at the top of their voices, mobiles going off every two minutes and screaming kids, it's a nightmare. I always listen to music to try and drown most of it out.

Last time I rode a bus mobiles were very big an expensive and nobody on the bus could afford one (before 92 )

I don't have too much of a problem with driving... mostly jsut when I have to be too close to a barrier or oncoming traffic at a higher rate of speed.
I'm 35, I've been in 29 auto accidents (2 were my fault, both were under 35mph) and 3 motorcycle accidents (all 3 were my fault, but I was the only one involved). For most of the car accidents, I was a passenger. The fact that I prefer to do the driving should be kinda obvious.
I prefer driving a manual transmission as I'm in greater control of the car that way.
Matter of fact, one of my favorite memories will always be driving my '83 Nissan King Cab pickup west on I-10 through Texas, into AZ and into the sunset. Just me, the Grateful Dead and the Texas prairie.

... one thing that always used to surprise me (still does) is people who give their kids a Camaro/Vette/older muscle car/powerful car on their 16th/17th/18th birthday/graduation. I don't care how many video games someone's played (there are a few exceptions and if you're interested I'll list them later) that doesn't prepare you for the reality of driving a 300+bhp vehicle, and unless they've taken driver training (and no, I'm not talking about a drivers licensing school... I mean some place like Bob Bondurants School of Driving or Skip Barbers... racing driver training) they should have a restrictor chip limiting horsepower to 200 or under, imo.

The thing that bothers me about buses is that I live in a town along I-95 between NYC and Boston and see just how these guys drive on a regular basis and it's scary
