No, they're not. Not at all. At best they appear to embody such stories as camouflage. Consider the use of hate crime laws to persecute minorities, civil rights laws to protect white supremacy, and so on. The stated purposes of laws are unrelated to their capabilities, which are all that matter.

You wouldn't give an ax murderer an ax because he says he wants to chop some firewood. Laws in the hands of the State are the same thing.
