Calm down. Many cities have already had laws like this for YEARS and you don't see us living like communists in those cities




I'm a small govt guy. The govt. (local, state, federal) has no business telling private enterprise what they can allow in their establishment.

People are too short-sighted now to see such a thing.

Yes that is stupid and I didn't even know that was a law. If a car dealership wants to sell a car on Sunday they should be able to.

I don't smoke and never have.

I can see past cigarettes and realize that banning activities in private establishments is taking personal freedom.

No I know many businesses that would love that extra day of profit that are forbidden by law do to religious reasons. All the Blue Laws are retarded in my opinion and should be stricken. Those laws are written about what people believe should be a day of God. This law is written about patrons health. I don't like either law on the books but I certainly care less about one that is for health reasons vs one about religious practice of some.

It really pisses me off that the government tells me how fast I can drive. It's my right to drive fast!
