The problem is when society tries to do it's job, someone comes up saying that you shouldn't moralise for a legal activity.

A tight society with a strict moral code (and it's enforcement in... communal style) would need no police and laws.

Look up and read “Meditations on Moloch”, and learn why this is absolutely not true.

Also, we did vigilantism. It’s really, really bad.

Exactly. Law with law making mechanism with safeguards is here for a reason. Yet many people want to go back to medieval style. Probably hoping they'd be the strong side.
