This time, it has to do with wearing motorcycle helmets (boldface mine):

Two Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would prohibit Washington from requiring motorcyclists to wear a helmet, raising concerns among road safety experts and marking what some say is another attempt by federal lawmakers to interfere in D.C. affairs.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisconsin) and Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) introduced bills in the House and Senate on Thursday that would overturn D.C.’s law requiring all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear a helmet, regardless of age. Forty-seven U.S. states have motorcycle helmet laws of some kind, and 17 have universal helmet laws like D.C.’s, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

If the good people of the Great States of Wisconsin and Montana want to increase the pool of organ donors, go right ahead, but this sort of policy shouldn’t be inflicted on the residents of the mainland colony of the District of Columbia. What’s worse is that they openly admit they don’t care about the consent of the governed:

Van Orden — a Harley-Davidson rider — wants to use his “Ride in Freedom Act” targeting D.C. as a starting point to try to roll back helmet requirements across the country, according to his spokeswoman, Grace Kim.

“D.C. is an important place to start,” Kim said. “If Congress can change the policy here, it opens the door to having a larger conversation about the federal government’s role in helmet mandates across the country.”

The Douglass Commonwealth can’t come soon enough. D.C. statehood now.
