      Source: I fucking made it up.

      But isn’t it simple logic? Maybe a driver pulls the wheel a bit too hard, due to having no belt loses balance, boom, he hits someone.

        It might be “logical” but I prefer evidence-based policy. Especially when we are restricting individual rights.

        What if it was something you cared about? What if I don’t know your favorite form of music was going to be criminalized, would you accept “logical” as justification?

          That is a ridiculous straw man arguement and the fact you came up with it basically indicates you have no actual interest in a proper debate.

          We are taking not wearing a seat belt against restricting music.

          One of them has real obvious reasons for restricting it decreases everybody else’s safety by you not wearing a seatbelt.

          There is no public safety consideration for banning a particular genre of music.

          It is appropriate to impose limited freedom restrictions in cases where not doing so would result in potential issues for other people.

          For example you are not allowed to play excessively loud music after a certain amount of time because that affects other people. But music is not banned outright and a genre of music would never be banned outright because that would be obviously ridiculous.

          If you’re going to have this conversation at least be reasonable.
