So why do you think these laws are “reasonable” to use your word if you admit that the primary reason people say we need them is a lie?

Requiring citizens to produce a photo id to vote is reasonable regardless of lies certain people tell to push the idea.

Similarly, a carbon tax is reasonable even though proponents lie and claim climate change will kill us all.

But you admit it doesn’t accomplish anything. It isn’t reasonable to create laws with no purpose.
