People should be in charge of their own lives. Not the state or government. This is just opening the door for other laws that are “for our own good.”
Do you want mandatory use of personal floatation devices at all times when on our boats? No thanks. I would prefer to keep the choice. People die each year because they weren't using one. Again, they knew the risk.
I would guess that more people are killed each year from cancer as a result of cigarette smoking. Do they ban that? My mother happens to smoke, but if it takes her life it was her own fault. I will be heartbroken, but she knew the consequences.
Rescue personnel should not have to risk their lives when someone knowingly puts them self in danger doing something outrageous.
I don’t smoke and I use my seat belt because it is the smart thing to do. When it is dangerously rough water, I use my PFD. Common sense is the key. If I had a snow machine, I would not skim.
Have you seen the books published each year called the Darwin Awards? Just from the stupid things people do in a year, the list of potential laws for their protection would be colossal.
Do we really want to give away our freedom to live the way we choose? The government does not know best.
This is my opinion, which I am entitled to on the subject of laws like the Anti-Skimming Law. It is not about MA vs. NH. I am sorry to those people who do not agree with me. You are entitled to your opinion. I love this country and our freedom! I just want it to stay free like our forefathers intended.
