    consistancy in the law is a pretty basic thing to ask for, considering we are “all” meant to follow it.

    You’re moving the goalposts a bit. The law is consistent in this example. One this is deemed illegal the other thing deemed is legal. I agree with you about why those laws are chosen to exist is certainly open to debate. Are you instead arguing the laws in your example are ambiguous?

    • Do you think the woman who sold Perry the ketamine thought she was selling it legally?
    • If you were to walk into a gun store, would you be concerned the store owner was breaking the law selling you a gun?
