Someone mentioned a father of three becoming a gambling addict. Of course I don't support that, and frankly I expect better of folks here than to jump into arguments like that. In that particular case I want the state to intervene for child endangerment leaning towards child abuse.

Just want to point out that you don't want the state to have power over you by banning your gambling treats, but you are fine with the state having the power to take away the children of gambling addicts.
