It will benefit a hell of a lot of bureaucrats, but mostly the anti-gun and anti-hunting pressure groups who initiated it. Those groups are the ones who achieved their objectives. The condors gain nothing.

Within the last 20 years or so, all jurisdictions passed laws to define, prohibit, and punish computer crimes. Those laws did not exist prior. By your argument the legal profession should uniquely benefit. Not so.

Lawyer bashing normally arises in the context of tort litigation. I suppose there are some notable excesses in that realm. The public fails to recognize that the excesses are the product of only the most narrow cut from the profession.

For every John Edwards there are thousands of practitioners who work hard every day making their livings a little at a time while providing valuable and honest services to the public. At the end of the year, the average lawyer has made no more than a skilled tradesman working a union job in a factory, and with a lot less job security. Believe me, because I know.
