We already have laws for theft and similar crimes. You don't need a government creating more rules preventing entire categories of choices from being made, especially if they already can't enforce the laws on the books.
What classic, pathetic, intellectually cowardly American idiocy.
Those laws are not sufficiently effective deterrents. Americans, whose only idea for how to solve any problem is finding new ways to punish and hurt people, have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, and brainless husks, like you somehow think the problem can be solved with more punishments.
You are a terrible human being. You’re more interested in hurting people than you are in solving the problem.
I don't see how you are saying anything different.
You seem to agree that punishment and violence is the primary tool of American government, and then you want to use it to control more choices. Call me cynical, but I expect that's how it will be approached. Theft and vagrancy is already a crime. Maybe it was the punk music that led to those so let's criminalize that as well.
