I'll have to research this more, but I wouldn't lump it in with "feel good" legislation just yet. If it were a felony to manufacture or print them, it would certainly have a throttling effect.

A bonafide example of "feel good" legislation would be restricting bayonets. How many people get killed in the US with bayonets?
