| A Vermont state senator has proposed a total ban on cellphones for anyone under 21 years old. Democratic Sen. John Rodgers proposed a bill that would effectively ban cellphone use and possession for residents under 21 because, he told CNN, "cellphones are just as dangerous as guns." He knows it won't make it past the judiciary committee. "I'm not going to push for the bill to pass," he said. "I wouldn't vote for the thing. This is just to make a point." That point: In Vermont, it's illegal for anyone under 21 to buy a firearm. Rodgers suggested that the same age restrictions should apply to cellphone use.
