You seem to want to argue about the effectiveness on laws that are put in place to deter crimes. and establish punishments for the crimes.
Based on your theory, and your attitude about law, we might as well just do away with the laws- all laws since you don't think they are working for us and that laws are so unnecessary.
For heaven's sake! Let's just go back to the wild west and settle everything at High Noon in the street by seeing who can sling their gun the fastest!
Is that what you want? Because we aren't that far from there now!
Who's asking to lift laws? I am not arguing existing laws, I'm arguing imposing more. Aren't over 20,000 existing laws enough? My "theory" isn't doing away with laws, I can't see where you find that in my posts.
"High Noon in the streets,"? That's funny! Most of that is Hollywood myth anyway.
Nope, I still can't see where you come up with the idea I want shootouts on every street. I do, however, believe every responsible citizen should have the right (and the means) to protect him/herself, their family and their property. We're far from the "High Noon" you speak of, but shouldn't criminals be apprehensive that their victim might have the means to defend him/herself?
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
