<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2176550, member: 28107&quot;]Sure Johnny is an idiot.&nbsp; But there is a difference between situations such as that and being defrauded or potentially defrauded by someone using one of your wares.&nbsp; The difference is that there is no statute that imposes a legal duty on quick mart to take measures to protect him.&nbsp; The same cannot be said about replica coins, counterfeit coins, and/or fantasy pieces.&nbsp; Congress sought to protect idiots like Johnny from people that make deceptive replicas, counterfeits, fantasy coins, etc.&nbsp; It created a strict liability statutory regime (the HPA especially) to protect Johnny.&nbsp; So whether Johnny and all the other morons of the world deserve it or not, you are legally culpable if you violate the statute. That is the part that you all seem to have difficulty grasping.&nbsp; Congress has broad plenary powers in the subject matter, and it has exercised them.&nbsp; If you have violated the laws of the land, whether they are wise or actually protect people deserving of protection or not is immaterial to the discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
