I see alot of opposition in this discussion and the only alternative I see coming from that side is do away with the law entirely. That equals opposition without solution to me.
Care to pose something as a solution besides just doing away with the law? My guess is that you will answer No to that question.
I'm not a law maker or social engineer.
But I don't like to be lied to with impunity by my elected leaders and then forced to comply with that lie or forfeit money to the government because of it.
I'm not against safety equipment. I wear my helmet, boots and leather when I ride my bike. I also buckle up in my vehicle.
So just because there are loud voices against this law doesn't mean anyone is against safety. What they are against is the infringement of our guaranteed liberty.
That's the point.
