hmmmm.... first you can't smoke your legal cigarette in the private property of your car (for the children of course) THEN you can't smoke your legal cigarette in the private property of your home (for the children of course) THEN you can't have that lawful *gun* in your home (it's for the children of course)
This is not the future I want to hand down to my children.
Exactly. I find creeping wussification and unthinking obedience to elected "masters" a FAR greater threat to the future of children than a little cigarette smoke once in a while, and I don't even smoke.
Funny thing, tho', as another thoughtful poster pointed out, gun rights have been greatly EXPANDED in this country as a whole in the last couple of decades. Mandatory issue right to carry concealed weapons (the presumption, unless proved otherwise is that you have a right to have such a permit) are now being issued by the millions each year.
So the slippery slope is really the slippery, blowing smoke, trying to come up with a reason to justify their continued misbehavior around others.
And as the elected leader pointed out, we wouldn't need such laws if so many smokers were not such complete morons/idiots/slobs.
