Laws do not prevent crime, crimes are punished and that is what keeps society relatively safe.
Okay. Laws do not prevent crime, ergo gun control laws do not stop gun violence from happening. Therefore gun control laws, and gun free zones are pointless. If laws are pointless, it doesn't matter how many times someone is punished.
Thanks for making my case.
By that logic, laws against
murder are pointless too. After all, people still commit murder, even though it's illegal.
It's not logic, it's a talking point only stupid people or liars echo. Laws do not stop crime, they punish those who commit crimes!
The opinion expressed by TK is too foolish to even offer a rebuttal. People obey the laws for two reasons:
- They believe it is the right thing to do
- They fear the punishment
Yes... Laws punish people who act in unsound ways, which is to say ways that a viable culture forbids.
And how cool is it that these cranks are in here touting the punishing effect of laws, while both of them would have the Reader believe that Abortion must be legal, because laws forbidding such... '
would not stop all women from having abortions...' ?
So what they're saying is that Gun-Free Zones are designed to punish people who carry guns... . Guns which the US Constitution lists as the 2nd enumerated priority in the list of protections for the exercise of
essential individual rights, that assures the RIGHT to do just THAT!
Therefore,
that 'law' is as foolish and counter productive as any other law that comes as a result of Relativism.
It takes LAW... the ONLY purpose for which is the service of Justice, which can ONLY be done where THE LAW is objectively written and objectively ENFORCED... and they write a SUBJECTIVE LAW that is SUBJECTIVELY ENFORCED.
And THAT is why a viable culture can NEVER tolerate Relativism. Because it is IDIOCY that breeds IDIOTS!
