Agreed.
I'm not overly convinced that a law should exist solely because of such reasoning. At the very least, if such a law must exist in some capacity, I believe that it should be enacted as some form of local law, or bylaw.
Differing local laws just make things more complicated.
Would you mind explaining why you believe that unnecessary death and the trauma surrounding it is not good enough reason to enforce simple safety laws?
Would you mind explaining what you mean by this?
I don't believe that the purpose of a law is to ensure the comfort of the public, but instead laws should be enacted to ensure one's ability to freely pursue their life, and happiness.
