What they're saying is we already have too many laws, and many are of questionable effectiveness; which may very well be true. Law should be challenged and brought up to date.

But what they really mean is "its going to cost us money to have that law and we don't want to shell out".

Its why I brought up the seat belt laws as an example. No less an authority than Lee Iacocca himself sternly warned us seat belts were going to cause the collapse of the entire US auto industry. Other Conservative objections ranged from the cost of installation, to the cost of enforcement, to obscure constitutional arguments about civil liberties and freedom and the flag.

And of course, Conservatives also pointed out that

1) Not everyone was going to obey the law and buckle up.
2) People wearing seat belts could still die in crashes.
3) People not wearing belts would still survive some crashes.
4) Some people would even be killed by seat belt-caused injuries.
or, my favorite,
5) We already have plenty of traffic laws and people still have accidents and get hurt!

In other words, the same kind of bullshit objections they make to common sense gun control legislation. The same people who want to send you to jail for downloading a song without paying for it, or smoking a joint in your own house, want everyone to have the absolute unrestricted freedom to buy and sell multiple sniper rifles and automatic assault weapons because they've convinced themselves some day they might need them to stop a tyrannical government or a communist invasion.

These people are easy to figure. Just follow the money. They are not stupid, they know exactly what they're doing.
