Police State & The Lowest Common Denominator
By your argument everything that is harmful to any small percentage of the populations should be disallowed by the authorities.
It is impossible to legislate away risk from the experience of life and if everything in life is reduced to a protection for the lowest common denominator among us then there is no life for any of us.
Some eat so many pork ribs they eventually have a heart attack so I guess ribs are out. Many have trouble with sugar so that leaves out sweets. And what about beer that's gone too and milk for those that can't handle milk.
The biggest thing that people like you would take from the general population is not poker but personal freedom and quality of life.
