Texting laws just make people look at their phones in their laps instead of putting it up at steering wheel level and viewing the messages. Shoplifting is solved through ink dyes, locked cases, and private security guards more so then laws against shop lifting. How does legal gun ownership vs illegal gun ownership make a difference in who is going to commit violence? If guns were suddenly all made illegal tomarrow I certaintly wouldn't then suddenly find myself holding up a bank. How is drug use the cause of violence? Even if it is shouldn't we charge them with the violent act they committed not the nonviolent one of smoking some plant? The world really isn't all that dangerous for your average person who avoids putting themselves into bad situations, neighborhoods, etc.
    See you just made my point..even though there are rules non-flexiable rules inplace people don't follow them..As a parent it's my job to raise my children to not be like all the examples about you just gave.. Thank you.

    Again like I'm not talking about the chruch thing I'm talking about a 17 year old person upset because of rules they don't like and don't think they should have to follow..Kind of like all the examples you gave above and I gave..It's not the rule that's worry some, its the mindset about the rule, I don't like it there for I shouldn't have to do it..
