If yoour kid is struck by lightning do you try and pass a law to forbid any kid to go outside while its raining?

IF I thought you killed my kid, I might kill you, but do you pass a law enabling me to do it?

How someone feels about something tragic that happens to them specifically versus generalizing that out to all people are two different issues.

3 kids from the age of 18-21 dying this year on college campuses from alcohol poisoning is tragic, but not a general and far reaching health concern . . .

Unless you are the dead person, or their family and friends.
