Letter: Cellphones, red lights and silencers

(Trent Nelson | Tribune file photo) Rush hour traffic backed up on 12600 South near Bangerter Highway in Riverton on Feb. 22, 2019.

I have heard it all now.

Our Utah lawmakers killed a bill that would ban the use of hand-held cellphones while driving — but advance another to allow running a red light in certain circumstances.

What?

That is right up there with U.S. Sen. Mike Lee’s bill that would remove “unnecessary” federal regulations currently attached to silencers on firearms, to protect the hearing of gun owners. I just don’t get it.
