Mandating Radios? (WAS: Another midair in the pattern)

If you want a scenario that will put an end to flying as we know it, it

passenger jet, where the subsequent investigation uncovers a series of
internet postings by the GA pilot railing against the government's right
to force him to spend $200 on a hand-held radio.
So, a regulation mandating a radio trumps the regulation to see and avoid?
And, after instituting said regulation, and midairs still occur, what is
the next "fix"?
