Legislation has to make sense?

1) It's illegal to sell cars from Telsa in many states because...I can't even stand to repeat it.

2) It's illegal to give your child pot, even when it's a pharmaceutical grade product shown to be the only cure for her epileptic seizures, and even if done with 100% physician oversight. I would so enjoy a morality debate with a congressman in a state choosing to stand by and do nothing while a small child shakes violently on the ground.



What you're missing is that those laws are entirely feasible to enforce without having the government snooping on your computer.
