I've noticed that I have a variety of items "not for sale in California." It leads me to wonder - are the people in California smarter, and they get a cheaper comparable item? Or are the people of California at the mercy of their idiotic legislators, forcing them to pay twice as much for a comparable item because it has a safety mechanism designed to protect complete morons from a hazard that no sane person would be injured by. "Oh look, he stuck his tongue on the muffler and burned himself. Let's redesign the generator so that the muffler is complete contained inside a cage that won't allow someone else to burn his tongue."
If I recall, at one point, kids' dirtbikes (the little ones with a motor) were going to be banned because... they contain too much lead. That's right, the little 5 year old is apparently going to disassemble the dirtbike, tear apart the battery, and eat the lead in the battery.
