Here's a question, Do laws stop crimes?


No, they don't. Laws CREATE crimes.

Ergo if we had no laws we'd have no crime.

Murder is illegal yet murders still happen.
 
Therefore murder should be legal!

Correct, it defines the crime, but does not stop the criminal from commuting the crime. The penalty might.

And, ideally, in the case of those prone to violent offenses/general asshattery, gets them of the streets for a while.
 
I also have mountains of ideas on prison/criminal code reform as well but again... this ain't the place.
