Whereas by your definition the only use of a jammer is an illegal one, so then why have them as legal?

Lets bring together two likes, take heroin for example. It is illegal to use heroin, therefore the law also says it is illegal to make, sell, or otherwise have heroine on your persons.

If it is illegal to use jammers, then they should make them illegal to sell, use and install as well...
I didn't make the law, so you are asking the wrong person. Personally, I do think jammers should be illegal because there is only one use for it. And it has already been banned in the majority of Provinces in Canada, so I personally don't see why it shouldn't be illegal. What is going to happen is that people will be nailed with a CCC charge and possible conviction for Obstruction, rather than a VT (which is only a charge under the MVA).

Steroids are not illegal to possess, but is a controlled substance and is illegal to sell or distribute. So your idea of what makes or should make something legal/illegal is flawed.
