Again, how do you enforce that requirement in a state that actually HAS that requirement?

You can’t enforce it in every case, like most public safety laws, seat belts for instance, you do so to affect common behavior. More people wear seatbelts now than before there was a law requiring their use and most people no longer need a law to make them.
It has saved lives, now airbags......

Go beyond this. The culture change with seat belts means that today most people couldn't imagine not wearing a seat belt today.

I intimated that but perhaps it was not clear.
I remember starting to drive once and one of my children screaming Stop
I said what is the matter she said I don’t have my seatbelt on
That was probably 20 years ago or so

I don't think it's the same thing. Drivers have to go out and drive past cops every day, so many people have the incentive (disincentive?) to wear seat belts.
Isn't there already a law saying you can't leave guns out if little kids are around? Maybe not...
We fall so short of what we should be....so many stupid people out there. |
