Red herring.Using the criteria we have failed to stamp out some illegal activity as an excuse to simply make it legal would lead one to believe the MILLIONS of home break ins that occur every year should just be legalized, after all according to YOUR criteria we have failed at stopping them. Same with murder and a slew of other crimes.
Burglary and murder are crimes of aggression against another person...Smoking a joint or stuffing some coke in your head is not such an act of aggression.
Burglary is almost universally non violent. But to the point. It is no red herring. THE CRITERIA listed is that because we can not stop the crime we should stop making it a crime. That applies to many crimes. Such a criteria is not only foolish it is beyond stupid.
Once again if you have the will of the people just pass an amendment. Problem solved.
