The California law regarding transgender students is good. It allows transgender children like Coy Mathis, Jazz Jennings, Nikki, and countless others to have the freedom to be their trues selves at school, without having to worry about the administration outing them or making their lives unnecessarily difficult. In fact, there are other laws in California already on the books that do effectively the same thing, this one just helps to reinforce those existing laws. <br /><br />The claims that the bill somehow violates the rights of other students is nothing more than blatant fear mongering and false propaganda being perpetuated by bigoted, anti-LGBT organizations.

Alright, let's talk about the other six laws, then, shall we? <br /><br />They talk about global warming at first, but make no mention of any specific laws regarding it. <br /><br />They also complain about Home Owners Associations, and how the HOA for one of the guy's neighborhoods won't let him install a flagpole in his own yard, and also requires that all garbage cans be taken off the curb within 12 hours after the garbagemen have collected the garbage. <br /><br />They also talk about Plato's Republic, and how Plato's philosophy is essentially a handbook for tyranny. Later on they also criticize Friedrich Hegel who essentially said that the state is God. <br /><br />Anyway, here's the list of the seven laws in the order they were presented: <br /><br />1. Connecticut law requiring registration of all assault rifles <br />2. Nationwide ban on incandescent light bulbs <br />3. California AB 1266 - protects the rights of transgender children in school <br />4. New York Ban on Horse Drawn Carriages <br />5. D.C. law requiring re-registration of guns that were already registered <br />6. Illinois ban on talking on a cell phone while driving <br />7. California AB 60 - allows undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license <br /><br />Personally, I've generally been indifferent on the issue of gun registration, though I support people's right to own guns. But I suppose I can understand people's fear that registration leads to confiscation. <br /><br />The ban on incandescent light bulbs is dumb. The free market should decide which products succeed and which ones don't. Trying to legislate success doesn't work. <br /><br />We've already thoroughly gone over the California bill protecting transgender students. <br /><br />The New York ban on horse drawn carriages is incredibly stupid. Horses have been beasts of burden in Western civilization for thousands of years. Trying to change that is irrational. I think this bill was being pushed by PETA, wasn't it? <br /><br />Citizens of Washington, D.C have been legally required to register their guns for a while now, but this new law requires them to register their guns again for some reason. I don't see what the purpose of that is. This law makes no sense. <br /><br />The Illinois law banning talking on a cell phone while driving seems fine to me. A driver should be free from all distractions. One of the guys says that he believes that some people can drink and drive safely, which is absurd. <br /><br />California's new law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license seems sort of rational, but I can also see the argument against it. I mean, personally, I think we should have free and open immigration, but I recognize that isn't possible with a massive government welfare system in place. <br /><br />So out of this list we've got four bad laws, two good ones, and one law which I'm not sure about one way or the other.
