One guy's been using it since it was invented. Someone else found out about it eleven years ago and has been using it since them.
In other words, actual free-market capitalism.
It's not free market capitalism when the government's doing the buying.
And as a bonus, your law just legalised contract killing, prostitution, drug dealing, etc...
Oops, you're right about the contract killing part. I guess in my mind the right to life comes before anything else and is an assumption I make without noticing. My error.
I have no problem with prostitution or drug dealing though.
So then, it will no longer be possible to forbid sale of too powerful weapons, spoiled food, unsafe toys, etc. either. Not good.
Yes, that's correct. And that's a good thing in my opinion. What's the point of a weapon if the opponent you need it to defend yourself from is able to get a more powerful weapon illegally?
Unsafe toys and spoiled food don't get discovered until they are already out in the wild, even under your system of laws and restrictions. Any response to that is basically going to be the same whether you then "Ban" the sale of that item or not. Media is interested in these stories and so people will find out. It's very likely that in order to keep customers, the companies responsible will withdraw the products and if they don't then the company will fail.
