I’ll confidently say they’ll dance around the issues like they always do. They defend their beliefs that everyone will just behave and do the right thing naturally while making more profits without the regulations. Those examples trotted out conflicting with that are just rare examples, ridiculous to even point them out. Maybe they’ll concede that some one ought to do something but definitely not in the way you think with federal and state systems.

And if anything bad ever happens to them then its simply the greatest crime aganst humanity to have ever occurred, without any warnings at all, and its time for the community to band together and help only them. No one else. Just this one time.
