You always see people complaining about bad things that happen and then talk about how we need a law to stop it.
But just about every bad thing they want to stop is covered by a few simple laws already on the books:
murder
manslaughter
theft
fraud
assault
Let's use this thread to list grievances and categorize them in the actual high level laws that are already on the books.
Such as:
Drug War: excuse is that people do drugs and either steal to get more drugs or they could get behind the wheel and kill someone.
Already covered: theft and manslaughter
Drunk Driving: Someone who is drinking may get behind the wheel and kill someone in a car accident.
Already covered: assault, manslaughter
Driving with cell phone: Statistics showing people who talk on their cell phones or texting while driving getting into accidents, possibly killing someone.
Already covered: assault, manslaughter
War on Terror: the muslim radicals are out to get us...they might kill us...we are scared...
Already covered: murder
Dodd-Frank Act: Corporations are greedy and do bad things pulling the wool over the eyes of consumers
Already covered: fraud
Any others we can cover?
