So you're totally against the smoking ban in restaurants. And how about the government making us wear seatbelts or mandating that small children be in car seats? I'm totally with you on allowing smoking anywhere and getting rid of seat belts and car seats.
I pray that none of your children or grandchildren were among the dead in the Newtown, CT shooting. Now might be the time to start stocking up on ammunition...hide it under your bed and hope it doesn't explode while you sleep.
BTW...It's easier and quicker to ban an inanimate object than to change societies mores. We can work on that down the road, but in order to save more lives those inanimate objects have to go.
