so are gun laws.

Dude, what are you doing?

Should it also be legal to fly planes at 500 mph only 10 feet in the air above a roadway?

Should it be legal to site in your rifle at a daycare?

You are making the argument nothing should be illegal basically "because my freedoms"

Not at all

You are against kill swtiches being mandatory because "it takes away your personal liberty"

What about my "personal liberty" of shooting a cannon on the middle of lsus campus?


What about my "personal liberty" of driving a car shitfaced?

I've lost 3 people in my life from boating accidents. I 100% wear my life jacket and kill switch. It's not an option, if I don't have either I don't go, simple.

As far as kill switches, people fly out of boats all off the time. This would ensure the boat come to a quicker stop with no driver and takes some risk away from it doing more damage.

i think it is more about the fact that why are they limiting it to 26' boats and under. I mean that viral powerboat video where scott van pelt planked to the floor could have been much worse had he not been wearing the kill switch. That boat sure was bigger than 26 feet.

And look at the Louisiana Law requiring people born after Jan 1 1984 have taken a boating certification course. You mean to tell me someone born in dec 1983 who has never driven a boat doesnt have to have the certification yet someone born in jan 1984 who has driven boats since he was a kid has to? thats just lunacy.

Therefore my stance is either everyone should have to or no one.

He came into the thread ready to spout off about personal liberties thinking the purpose of this law was to protect the operator of the boat. He got caught with his pants down once it was pointed out that this law is intended to protect other boaters and people on the water and, instead of admitting that he was wrong, doubled down.
