Sure, let's ban everything we don't understand and every tool that can be used to break into something. Next we'll be banning rocks because they break windows and crowbars because they can be used to jimmy locks.

There's unironically been calls to ban pointed knives in the UK because they get used in crimes.

I know! Clearly the UK is on a level of stranger paranoia that I can't really fathom. Over here that still sounds like the hyperbole someone would use to argue against restrictions on more complex weapons, not a serious suggestion.
