Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts::The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices after tagging them as tools thieves can use to steal cars.
They should really try banning car theft, it’s a lot more direct and to the point.

Oh shit, I wanted to steal a car but now because of this ban it will be illegal, how bad.

Yeah, since we can’t stop murderers, we should do nothing about it.

Banning flipper is exactly that- doing nothing- because you can’t actually use one to steal a car.

The thing we should do is hold car manufacturers accountable for neglecting security in cars.

So actually doing nothing.

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?

Let’s establish an international anti-murder day. It won’t save anyone, but at least we did SOMETHING!

We can’t stop murderers, so let’s band all guns, knives, baseball bats and tire irons.
