I don't live in the US, so the question doesn't matter, but if I did, I would indeed construct any hardware that I want as long as I don't find the act immoral. Preventing me from constructing a CPU would be an immoral act, so I would have no problem defying such immoral laws. Not that the world isn't filled with generic hardware. The cost of recycling or destroying all that hardware would be immense. Not to mention what it would do the semiconductor, electronics, EE, ... and software industries. Your proposal is just not feasible in the modern world. What one stands to gain by implementing such a system is insignificant compared to what one stands to lose.
