Default Re: A fine reason to ban weapons

Yes, without government, traffic accidents would skyrocket.

Please. Private roadowners would set rules for use of their roads, including what side to drive on.

Exactly. The owners of the road make the rules not the owner of the car. What the driver does effects his fellow road users which is why he has rules to follow. A gun owner has rules to follow for the same reason. When and where he discharges his weapon, where he keeps it, how he safeguards against its misuse can have consequenses for other people. I am of the opinion that those rules should be more stringent than they are.

And yet, malpractice still exists. Amazing. I thought government certification would prevent it!?!

You don't think it is prevented? An interesting experiment - two societies, one with regulation over medical matters and one without - which would be healthier? Where would you rather live?

Most legislators are lawyers. Among the biggest contributors to political campaigns (in the US, at least) are (you guessed it) lawyers.

And from this you deduce that most laws are frivolous?
