Think of it this way, You see a girl at the bar and you offer her $1,000,000 for a BJ. She says yeah, but then you tell her you don't have the mil, you only have $5. She gets all offended.

You already know where her morals are at the $1,000,000 offer, past that you are just negotiating the price. Same goes here and with every other topic of giving the government more power/authority.




As I said before if it's because the two are 14yo, say it was two 34yo men, would we really be having a multi page thread on here? Would we really be demanding PLDs on all boats?






Preciously, it's easy to jump to an over the top mandate without going into the details about it. When you get in the weeds of how to apply that mandate, punishments for breaking that mandate, who will monitor the mandate, how will they monitor it, who will be governed by that mandate, how exceptions are given out, why those exceptions are given out. It turns complicated fast, just like everything else the government touches.
if every time the gov tries to enforce new safety laws and it was taken as the gov chipping away at our rights, we would have none of these regulations in place. and peoples common sense varies so yes there needs to be something in writing for everyone to reference. look back at history, most of these types of laws are usually put in place after a tragedy. maybe that's not the best feeling because we like to think we are smarter then that and should have already put something in place to prevent the tragedy. I would support anyone in this tragic situation no matter their age, etc... yes it hits harder when it has to do with children, I think that's a given. but not an excuse to ward off talk of making things a little safer out there. things only get complicating to people who refuse to understand them...
