It is only a problem if you perceive it as such. And most people don't.
Some stalker threatens you and your family. You know that he is dangerous, but the cops say that they don't have the legal means to arrest him. You want a gun to defend your family, but you won't get any, because self-defense isn't a "valid reason" to get a license here. If you manage to get an illegal gun and you use it, you are more likely to get a harder punishment than the stalker will get. How is that not a problem?
Or the state surveilling your private communications without you not even being a suspect. Doesn't that bother you?
Or the state denying you some medication you need, not for an objective reason, but because they have "decided" that it is against their policy to allow the use of this substance.
