Guns. My guess is most ban-happy people would want to see guns banished, believing that a ban would solve a lot of our recent woes of mass shootings.

I just heard on the news that a drone crashed in a prison, a drone carrying contraband to prisoners. Between that and privacy, drones must be banned.

Cigarettes, the killer. Sure they're in partial ban-mode already. Many restaurants & hotels, even some towns, consider themselves smoke-free. Just ban them.

Trump reversed a decision and is now banning the import of elephant hunting trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the U.S.

So what else should be on the "ban" list? What else do people consider regulations limiting use isn't enough?

Let's ban diet cola. That stuff tastes terrible.

I agree. That beverage (if one must call it that) is vile.

Diet squirt is worse than Tab. I do not know if it is the absolute worst merely because I do not buy diet soda.

Too late to do anything about drones, they will only get larger and able to do more in the years to come. Its only a matter of time before they are used in major crimes, if they arent already and we are just not hearing about it.

Can't we just ban banning things?

Except maybe identity politics.......I'd be OK banning that.

All the more reason to ban them now before they get out of hand. I can see the day where you'll have straw purchases of drones, people buying them out of car trunks at drone shows with no background checks.

We must act now.. It's for the children.

Ban everything you don't agree with ... or have tantrums and burn stuff when you can't ... oh wait ... a certain group is already doing that.
