Of course, it's also a real thing that the home builders' and contractors' association lobbies to make every pool be legally required to be enclosed by a fence, which naturally needs to be built by a licensed professional.

What? No it's not. That's simply not true. That wasn't how any of those laws developed historically.

And that would just be a nonsensical thing for the construction industry to lobby on. There are things that are actually highly profitable for them to lobby for. That's not one of them.

I'm confused why you can't just accept the obvious that it's an effort to save lives. Like seatbelts.
