If they were to legislate away everything that could possibly harm us, nothing would exist (including us and them). Where does it end? (rhetorical question, admittedly with no answer). |
My wife's pumps are
definately deadly weapons, but boy does she look good in them.
I agree you cannot legislate risk out of life. It's a natural reaction though. You hear cries for new laws everytime something bad happens.
I would cut through all the lawyer speak and just frame the law this way-
'
You can have a gun in your home for self defense, but if
you leave it out, loaded, someone other than
you finds it and then happens to kill himself or someone else with it.
You are going to be in deep s***t."
