    If your single point is “trying to stop people only makes them do it more”, than no, it’s not a “leap”. That invalidates the very idea of having laws in the first place.

    And fwiw, I’m not arguing in favor of this law, just against the idea you replied with.

      I just stated a fact, not my opinion on it.

      The leap was you assuming that i think that means there should be no laws. Which, as you can see by my previous response, you were wrong about.

      Whatever you’re arguing for or against, you’re arguing like a drunk uncle. You’re taking it to an extreme that it’s obvious no one actually intended, and then arguing against that extreme like it was the original point.

        I’m not arguing against extremes, I’m arguing against a bad argument. And I’m not drunk, I only wish I were.
