Most people only hear about terrible laws until after they have passed.

If a bad law is bad, we should definitely continue to criticize it, if only for the purpose of influencing FUTURE laws.

Fine, but the argument above didn't seem to paint this as a "terrible" law, just a suboptimal one. If you want to argue that it's terrible, feel free. My view is that it achieves a valuable goal with relatively low cost (but not free) and few (but non-zero) inconvenient side effects.
