I used to think that a good way to bring about the repeal of stupid laws would be to strictly enforce them to create a backlash. Having seen where zero-tolerance is going, I gave up on the notion.

A good way to get ANY stupid law/rule revoked is to make it apply to those who make the rules.
However, for the most part, they insulate themselves from this.

One of the inherent strengths of liberalism and stupidity (but perhaps I repeat myself) is that they are both immune to the reductio ad absurdum argument.
