Too many laws

[Attero Dominatus]

There are so many laws and regulations that it is a miracle that anyone in this country can even function!

Seat belt laws, bicycle helmet laws, gun laws (in early USA entire warships and artillery guns were privately owned and up until 1934 anyone could own machineguns), regulations that tell you how to use your own property or run your own business, and now mandated health insurance and mandated mercury vapor lightbulbs.

Where does this end?

I agree. Protect the kids but the adults should be free to bounce their heads on the pavement.

Yep. Nanny statism is a road to further statism.

I hear the EU even regulates the size of bananas. Talk about insane.

They also mandated the metric system once. While I favor the metric system because it makes math easier, I do not believe people should be forced to us it.

I am sure they have so many mandates that it is impossible to keep track. I hear they also regulate the size of posters and stuff.
