81. That doesn't wash.

If not another picture was taken, the existing supply of unlawful images would exist to meet demand, and the crusade to eradicate them would continue.

Images are unlawful because of their *potential* to do harm.

A thing considered harmful in itself.

Images are considered vile while guns and ammo are considered wholesome. Despite the latter's very real potential to inflict physical injury and death upon the same innocents.

This is compartmentalization of a magnitude to boggle the rational mind.
