Unfortunately, that statement is not a complete sentence. All it seems to say is that enacting more laws do not make for a safer or better society. (But it will keep legislators busily employed.)

Nobody has posted any "science" debunking the need for the law.
So what? That seems to bother only you, exclusively.

The only 'con' has been the emotional "OMG, my freedoms are vanishing!!"
Yes, they are, bit by tiny bit. The 'straw man' of emotionality is your addition.

Yes, we'll be another step closer to a socialist state
That is indeed what fabian Socialism aspires to do: erode freedom tiny bit, by tiny bit.

In the meantime, no one ever touches their emissions equipment, no convicts ever get their hands on guns, no one ever drives drunk, no one ever tries to scam another person. What's this? People still do that?? How is it possible? Aren't there laws against that??
So the cure for too many laws is to make more laws?

Freedom is akin to health. I don't think it possible that anyone might suffer from having too much health...
