How do you ban a device built with open source hardware and software anyway?

Tyrannically.

It's hardly tyrannical. It's a device meant to be used to steal cars. Not banning it would be seen as willfully ignoring part of the problem. They're still ignoring the root cause of the problem, but they have to be seen attempting to govern. If they're not banning the open source hardware, then we're not living under the thumb of a tyrant.

It’s a device meant to be used to steal cars.

No, that's a lie. It's no different than saying that a VCR is "a device meant to steal movies."
