Well, if they'd be considering to outlaw selling 0days on the black market, that'd be a whole different discussion.

My first intuition would be all for it, actually. Though there might be some consequences I haven't considered.

For all I know that could already be illegal? Anyone?

The problem is defining the black market.

Anyone with software affected by a 0-day is effectively a legitimate buyer of that bug.
