And I'm sure the seatbelt and speeding and drunk driving laws will all be repealed or severely curtailed, resulting in a spike in fatalities that would cause insurance costs in Idaho to shoot through the roof and put auto insurance out of the reach of more people, assuming Idaho would require auto insurance in the first place.

Those laws are all of fairly recent origin, and this country got by fine before they were ever passed. We'll simply do so again, thank you.

So, you are admitting that if you were a member of the "free state" legislature, you would work to overturn all seatbelt, speeding and drunk driving laws? I just want to be sure.

Do you mind detailing how you'll handle the resulting spike in traffic fatalities, and how you expect the state to handle the medical costs and rising insurance costs that would inevitably result from overturning seatbelt, speeding and drunk driving laws? Just saying you did without them before and you can do without them again doesn't answer the specifics.

BTW, how I feel about the laws themselves is irrelevant to the question. I'm just interested in knowing what you would do if you were in charge. I think the voters of any potential "free state" whose legislature you might be planning to "infiltrate" have a right to know what your specific plans are. You can treat my question as if you were already running for office and a potential voter was asking you a question.
