Hiding your face in public can be made illegal. This is literally not an issue.

That's why my example was religious wear, which is a bit harder to ban in the states.
Yes! We should just make all crimes illegal, then there will literally be no issues at all!
Yeah because a bunch of people running around concealing their faces leads to good things.

Oh wait - it doesn't. The reason these laws were mostly passed in the mid-1900s was because of the KKK.

Laws affect behavior only loosely. Particularly behaviors that lack a direct victim. See also: war on drugs, speed limits, gun control.
