Would a ban on mobile homes in tornado-prone areas be a good idea or a bad one?

That would be a matter of individual opinion and could be debated endlessly. Generally, bans of any kind are a bad idea on the basis that they can turn normally law-abiding citizens into criminals and of course that ban has to be enforced at cost to the law-makers. In this case, the ban is in the interests of safety and can be considered a good idea on that basis. However, life would be rather boring if everything was super-safe with all risks eliminated. Carry on debating this at your leisure.
Edit:
I would like to add that most people who live in mobile homes cannot afford to buy a house. Telling them they cannot own a mobile home would leave many of them living on the street, and drive up the cost of apartments as the thousands of now homeless people tried finding a place to live.

Is there a stigma on Modular homes?
There is no stigma for modular homes that I know of,but a lot of people are miss informed about modular construction. Most people are confusing mobile homes with modular homes and there is a stigma about mobile homes and mobile home parks. Another confusing part is the term that is used to describe mobile homes. The term "Manufactured Housing" has been adapted by the mobile home industry to alleviate the stigma of mobile homes. Of course uninformed people bundle modular homes in this mix since modular homes are constructed in a manufacturing facility and are transported, but that is where the similarity if any ends.
