That's one of a jury's functions, to catch those cases where a literal interpretation of the law would produce an injustice.

Yeah, well there's the problem. Who's definition of "injustice" will the jury use?

Would you be keen on a jury with that attitude if you were on trial for shooting someone in self-defense? ...and the jury was a bunch of gun-grabbers? It would be a big "injustice" in some people's eyes for anyone to be set free after shooting some poor, disadvantaged kid.

Jury nullification is a dangerous double-edged sword.

Who's definition of "injustice" will the jury use?

Their own. That was the plan. Yes, it will vary slightly from jury to jury. But there needs to be a check on government from passing laws not accepted by the public.
