I agree, yet people get caught. This makes simply authorizes that, which I’m not inherently against. All I’m saying is, of all the things in the world, this isn’t the absolute worst thing that could happen and at least it isn’t (currently) being used by that state as a pretext for even more surveillance.
It isn’t more illegal to shoot people with a plastic gun; if anything it’s less illegal because you don’t need to lie on a form about your status to obtain a gun.
I think your arguing with what you think I’m saying instead if what I actually said. I believe we’re in agreement with different nuanced takes that affect that agreement. I agree this is dumb and a bad precedent that will likely be ineffective (just like virtually all other punitive preventative measures). I still think it could be worse.
TL; DR: this law to me feels more along the lines of “let’s stop giving away guns at candy shops” than “let’s completely fix everything all at once”
It’s sober minded and an attempt at appeasing their constituency. I disagree with it, but it could be worse and probably won’t hurt.
