What problems would that bring?
You could openly plott assassinations or terrorist attacks and law enforments couldn't do anything until some other law is broken (which might be to late).
Wouldn't that make law enforcement easier, if attacks were plotted openly?
"Hey guys, tomorrow I'm buying the illegal weapons"
So use a legal weapon instead.
That’s assuming you find the person before they do whatever they want with those weapons.
I think it's mainly that hate drowns out everything else. If you're in a group of hateful people, you either one of them, or keep quiet or join in. So it won't take long until everything except hate is silenced. In effect making everyone miserable. Even lots of the hateful people are miserable and that's what makes them hate on everyting. And so will become everyone else. I think that's the unhealthy dynamics of hate.
And it brings censorship. You can't talk openly about certain subjects if you're sure you'll get molested in turn. It'll cut down on people practicing free speech and make it more a theoretical thing, that's now just for people who are bold and loud.
