Sasha Volokh discusses "blue laws"

Sasha Volokh discusses "blue laws" and their possible change in Massachussets. We have blue laws in Minnesota as well, on the sale of alcohol and (oddly) automobiles on Sundays. Sasha argues for efficiency; I would argue that government really has no business regulating sales of legal products based on the day of the week. Regulating alcohol sales by the hour of the day, on the other hand, has an overriding safety concern that makes government intervention appropriate. I'm not inclined to fix it if no one's complaining, though.
