> prevent all possible bad things

Well that seems like a bad faith interpretation of my argument.

You included in your argument at least one bad thing that, as I pointed out, is not only not stopped by government regulation, it's explicitly permitted by it. The fact that there was a bad thing that happened before government regulation, which a government regulation was then passed to try to prevent, doesn't make your argument valid.
Which government are we talking about, please?
