Let's let the government continue to tell us what we can and cannot do in the name of "safety". I lack reason and intellect and the intelligence necessary to make my own decisions- luckily I have enlightened elite senators and representatives to make decisions for me. Today it's public tobacco use, texting while driving, and seat belt laws. They will prop up these laws by claiming to pass them for our own good and in the name of "public safety". In fifty years this culture of compliance will be such a fabric in everyday life in America they will have the power to tell us what we can and cannot do in our own homes......... oh wait, they already do. Please stand up for your rights before you don't have any left for them to take Great idea. Let’s let the government continue to tell us what we can and cannot do in the name of “safety”.
