with everyone armed to the teeth.

And I just don't think you have very good regulation of anything if it's left to puritanical snitches and haphazard, unevenly applied lawsuits. You want to use the government to enforce? I guess, politically, you can do that if you have the majority and can get the courts to pass muster. But turning hot-button issues into people vs. people, neighbor vs. neighbor, families vs. families issue is ripe for violence. It's a potential Hatfield-McCoy landscape.

This is regulation and fear by stealth. It's not a government, it's a private regulatory scheme executed by hate-filled spies who can't mind their own business.
