The Vermont state senate has before them a new bill that, if passed, would ban anyone under the age of 21 from using a cellphone.
The bill was introduced by Sen. John Rodgers (D). It includes data from the United States Department of Transportation that records how cellphones are involved in over a million car crashes each year. It also notes how 11 teenagers die each day in car crashes.

Rodgers told the Times Argus he doesn’t expect the bill to pass. Rather, he introduced it to “make a point.” The bill reads:
“In light of the dangerous and life-threatening consequences of cell phone use by young people, it is clear that persons under 21 years of age are not developmentally mature enough to safely possess them, just as the General Assembly has concluded that persons under 21 years of age are not mature enough to possess firearms, smoke cigarettes, or consume alcohol.”
According to the paper, the senator considers himself a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment. But based on the statistics provided within the legislature, he maintains that a cellphone is more dangerous than a gun.
