It's the same logic as eliminating automatic weapons. i was thinking one thing about USA. people there are ok with laws that say "wear a seatbelt" which is an actual restrictive law since the seatbelt protects only you (it does nothing for the safety of others) and it should be your choice if you want to protect your life or not, but are not ok with gun laws that are meant to protect others from you mishandling a weapon. but the whole system there is backwards. lets take obesity for example. in USA it is caused by the extreme consumption of sugar and what does the government there do? instead of going to the source and impose limits on how much sugar they are allowed to put in, lets say, coca cola, it goes to the people and has them pay a sugar tax for drinking coca cola... because coca cola is a campaign sponsor and thus should remain in the gray area where the law does not apply something like this Edited April 3, 2021 by teknoman2 4 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
