This is what I was trying to point too, and why I added the "ban it, then" argument. Because there's a considerable amount of people who operate with the "if it's not illegal, then I can do this" mindset, and there's a big intersection of this two mindsets.

At least putting a ban on it will make people think, I hope.

Agreed.

I'm not sure how I feel about "ban it" -- I can argue that either way -- but I do think that arguments that banning something is pointless because people will do it anyway are misguided.

Regulations don't eliminate the effects of bad actors, but they do reduce the number and severity of them.
