The contortions necessary for those two things to simultaneously make sense to someone must really be mentally exhausting.

Not so contorted. It is illogical when something should not be legal because it may be used in an illegal fashion. The real logic is that criminals will use what they want to perform criminal acts, whether they are legal or not.
