The same argument is used for gun control - the gun COULD be used to kill someone so we have to get rid of them.

Invalid argument.
She broke the law and was caught, tried and found guilty. This is much different than what a gun COULD be used to do. In fact, if you use a gun to kill someone - and get caught, tried, and found guilty - the penalty is quite a bit more than a simple (albeit expensive) fine.
That said...
I wonder if someone will (successfully) challenge the law as being a form of taxation applied unequally. Seems to me that they need a good lawyer to take up the challenge!
