Nice screed, but how does that justify continued political padering through boutique "there oughta be a law" laws?

Equal protection under the law is a political principle stated in the constitution. Because it is not perfectly applied (or because some people invent unequal protection when none exists to forward their agenda) does not mean it should be tossed into the dust bin through class-based laws whose real purpose is to pander for votes, not address any actual criminal problem.
