Passing laws based on emotions do not work. The common sense texting while driving law didn't stop people from texting and driving just like common sense gun control will not stop another mass shooting.

They have not.
I will repeat what many others have said,
'We are a nation of laws that needs NO MORE LAWS. We need better enforcement and stricter penalties.'
I earned my commercial license over 40 yrs ago. Things have changed over the yrs on the road. When first
enacted in Cali, that no cell thing exempted commercial drivers for a time (not sure of the time frame) and
I believe it's now illegal. I have thankfully been in Texas for a few years. I think that 1st responders are
actually exempt from that. I'll check for a statute.

One cannot compare laws forbidding talking on a cell phone with gun laws. There is no constitutional right to talk on the cell phone. There is a constitutional right to keep and bare arms.

Ok.
Wasn't aware I was. Can you elaborate or am I missing something ?

Relax. Nobody said you did. Look at the post you had responded to.
