These type of comments are so annoying.

"Everything is the same as everything" as an argumentative tactic and mindset is just incredibly intellectually lazy.

As soon as anyone tries to do anything about anything, ever, anywhere, people like you come out of the wood work and go "well what about this perfectly normal thing? Is that illegal now too???"

Why bother making bombs illegal? I mean, I think stairs kill more people yearly har har har! What, now it's illegal to have a two story house?

Also, elephant in the room: lawnmowers absolutely fucking do contain warning and research on their safety. If you develop a lawnmower, YES you have to research it's safety. YES that's perfectly reasonable. NO that's not an undue burden. And YES everyone is already doing that.



Also, people seem to forget that when laws are challenged or cases arise that judges exist who are charged with making reasonable interpretations of the law.
