Freepers are the first ones to scream about guns and SUVs being blamed for things, yet one can hear them screaming about cellphones causing shenanigans. SHENANIGANS will happen, if the flesh is willing, irrespective of technology.

I saw this in the left-lane passing thread. Apparently even conservatives are not immune to wanting their pet-peeves made illegal. I actually like the kids' cell-phone that has a mommy-button and a daddy-button and that's it. No cameras, no texting, no calling friends while at school or out. If it's an emergency, they can call mommy or daddy and that's it.

Not to try to get too far off, but the way people pass on a highway is a safety issue, to be regulated the same as tailgating and other maneuvers that create an immediate danger to everyone on the road. I don't see that as banning something I don't like, but as making sure everyone plays by the same rules, because the one person who doesn't might just kill a lot of people.

I'm sure your shooting range would kick out anyone who starts shooting when the others go down range to change targets, maybe even call the police on him. With potentially deadly devices, you have to play by the rules for everyone to be safe.
