So, due to some brilliant logic, it appears we have a LIGHT BULB BAN coming. Not that I endorse or plan on breaking any laws, any inside tips on how to "lose" some light bulbs in a tragic boating accident?

Also, and not that I would do it mind you, would it be worth burying a few gross of said light bulbs as they would no doubt be worth lots of money when the ban is lifted 10 years from now?

Pre-ban bulbs on evilBay? Go ahead...laugh...ridicule...those Kalis will shovel out the bucks 10 years from now!

There is no Brady registration background check on lightbulbs.
Just stock up, and trickle them out over ebay over a couple of years once the ban starts.

I don't think the authorities would buy your "tragic boating accident" story anyway.

Unlike firearms, light bulbs float...

Except there will be NO value for those bulbs you are stockpiling, because fluorescent bulbs work in lamps just fine.

Can I demill a lightbulb if it was once capable of automatically turning on?

Besides, nobody needs one of those Evil Black Lights. There is no legitimate need for a lumen capacity greater than 5.

Fluorescent is shit. Discolors everything and turns white plastics yellow practically overnight.

It serves its purpose in certian areas, but totally replacing incandescent with it? Hell no. However, replacing them with white LEDs would make an enormous amount of sense.

You'll have to pry them from my cold dead socket.

Will this device become illegal since it turns a regular light bulb into an automatic light bulb?

I went to pick up some normal light bulbs today for our kitchen because I'm sick and tired of the weak yellow glow I get from the stupid flourescent lights.  They only had like 3 boxes, the rest were all the new ones.  I bought all of them.  


PEAK BULBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy, your out in your flat bottom boat jug fishing for catfish. You have
your guns in the boat. You were at the range earlier, and didn't want to leave them in your car, for fear they may be stolen.

Your buddy gets excited when he sees one of your jugs bouncing up and down. In his excitement, being the dumb ass he is, he stands up, leans over the side of the boat, and flips the boat over,........ caplunk, there went your whole stash.


Disclaimor
This is not meant  to be used as a way to dodge the law, and dishonestly report your guns lost. This is mearly a version of a recurring nightmare I have, which I thought was similar  to this topics title.
