Yes, but the primary issue is the lack of common sense to have easily deduced what was going to occur.

It's great to realize you made a mistake. But if someone did not realize in the first place that lessening accountability and consequences for already-illegal behavior would result in mass lawlessness, then that person is the problem, regardless of their new-found revelation they made a mistake.

That's like me thinking how much fun it would be to tie a cinderblock to my friend's ankle when we go swimming. Then after he drowns, I realize it might have been a mistake. The problem is that I didn't realize that common sense deduced result prior to tying the brick to his feet.
