So Government telling a business that they have to meet electrical code, install a wheelchair ramp and comply to other ADA standards, meet fire code, etc is wrong as well?Bullwhip wrote:I don't want goverment telling property owners what they have to do or can't do. Telling owners they have to allow guns is wrong. So is telling owners they can't allow guns (schools, 51% joints, sports events, private property where school events take place).
If government just let businesses do 'what made them happy' then we'd have businesses that don't have a fire system, pack way too many people in a space, don't hire people because of the color of their skin, and have death traps for elevators and such, because they'd never be maintained. Not to mention on-the-job injuries and deaths as soon as so many businesses would throw OSHA out the door. (Businesses HATE OSHA Requirements, they cost tons of money to implement and maintain.)Goverment can't step in and make everbody happy. No laws passed this year will make everbody happy. The best way is to get goverment out of making private property decisions and let people decide what makes them happy, then do it.
So many businesses are driven by one thing, and one thing only: The almighty dollar. If you removed the requirement to make things safe, and in doing so, they would save/make more money, you bet that lots of them would drop the safety in pursuit of more money in a second.
