Yes, you are missing the part where a small group of person making things illegal based on very limited information instead of relying on the total computational system of the human organism is a bad things.
Why are drugs illegal? In a large part because black people used them. Also in part, because it threatened the traditional American way of life people were attached to.
A government once made being a Jew illegal and that was bad.
Therefore any government making anything illegal is bad.
That appears to be your logic, or am I missing something?
