This law is to protect the morons, the young men, and the fools who also live among us and are too ignorant to know common sense or wisdom.

The Nanny State is not about protecting us from the actions of others. It is about the government supposedly protecting us from our own behavior. Government will forever dominate adults if it can take away their freedom to fail and interminably treat them like children, from cradle to grave.
Maybe you don't mind being dominated and treated like a child, but adult, free men and women find it demeaning and reprehensible.
