Will we hear from the outraged parents about this? Ban the carnival ride? Or is it an acceptable, 'wont happen to me', chance that parents will take because they perceive it as fun? Just as deadly as a gun, but brightly colored.

The proposed bans on carnival rides are no different than gun control, the ban on 3-wheel ATVs and fireworks bans. The liberals seek to micro-manage every aspect of our lives. Free people have the ability to choose their social activities, enslaved people do not.

The parks are getting older and maybe the rides need to be inspected more and brought up to par rather than banned. Guns are a no no to the united nations new world order types as getting the guns collected means making the people slaves.
