Except he's not serious. He's doing it to make a point about gun bans and there's some pretty good data in the article. He's also a Democrat. Go figure. :rolleyes:




John Rodgers, a long-time Democratic lawmaker from the state that brought us socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), proposed a law this week to ban anyone under 21 years of age from using or possessing a cell phone in Vermont.

"The use of cell phones while driving is one of the leading killers of teenagers in the United States," reads the text of the bill. "According to the United States Department of Transportation, cell phones are involved in 1.6 million automobile crashes each year, causing half a million injuries and 6,000 deaths."

The text of the bill then focuses on teenage cell phone usage, noting that "young people frequently use cell phones to bull and threaten other young people, activities that have been linked to many suicides." Furthermore, the bill states, cell phones are the primary means people use to access the internet and social media, which "are used to radicalize and recruit terrorists, fascists, and other extremists," and that mass shooters have used cell phones to conduct "research" on mass shootings. If the bill becomes law, unlawful cell phone users could be fined $1,000.
