No, seat belts help, statistically/scientifically. Speed limits, DUI checkpoints, drunk driving laws, taking shoes off your shoes and throwing away your shampoo bottles, getting xrayed - these do not and often they make the problem worse. Notice how you didn't mention seat belts in your original post. You had to go and find an example of a regulation that DID actually help because you realized the ones you picked were worthless. (I could mention how seat belts were becoming more popular due to their safety far before any regulations but whatever.) Imagine which other regulations you attribute to the betterment of society are actually useless and even doing more harm than good? Is it possible that your gun regulations might fall into this category, sounding nice but making the problem worse? If you get your dream gun control in place, and more kids end up getting shot, what will you do? It's important, because it WILL happen. That's what my question in 389 is all about. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
