Comment on Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts

God I love these shit analogies.

Here’s the thing: banning murder hurts absolutely no one and accomplishes a lot.

Banning Flipper Zero, however they decide to do it, hurts hobbyists and helps no one.

See how your analogy is the opposite of reality?

If you truly want to solve something then you have to make some draconian-like laws and enforce it with rigorous effort. Sometimes the harshest measures are the safest measures.

  Now tell everyone how banning a device which can’t be used for car thefts, will somehow help with car thefts.
  
  I think we’d all like to know.
  
  Or, you know, it’s incredibly stupid to ban. But what do I know? Other than that you can’t use a flipper to steal a car of course.
