Can Some Conservative Explain the Point of the “Maybe We Should Ban Broccoli” Questions?

Question by Name: Can some conservative explain the point of the “Maybe we should ban broccoli” questions?
So, let’s say there’s a news story: “Man beats wife to death with box of frozen broccoli.”

Predictably, one or more conservatives on Y!A will post a link to the story and ask “Should we ban broccoli?”

Can someone explain the point of that argument?

Because my first impression is that the point is “If broccoli can kill people, then anything can kill people, and therefore we shouldn’t ban anything that can kill people.”

But that logic would lead me to believe that conservatives want everything from RPGs to pet tigers to land mines to crystal meth to be legal, on the grounds that broccoli can also be dangerous.

Surely that can’t be true?
