We need Change!!

[kmoose]

Sorry, but ebirps should of been mandated safety devices years ago. The antiquated flares and whistles should of been done away with pointed ignition and carburetors.

For those who want more freedom from government mandates on proven safety devices I recommend ignoring them and just pay the price for your decision. That or try Mexico... you'll love it there! Do whatever you want.

Trust me, I don't like the addition of new laws when we already have plenty that aren't enforced as it is but do you really see altering existing safety requirements for vessels to include a proven, lifesaving device as intrusive government interference? To me it sounds like any mandate in your eyes is a bad one. Take off the Ron Paul glasses for a second and think about how ineffective current required safety devices are compared to what is now available and how it can improve boating safety.
