@BlastBunny I totally understand where you guys are coming from but I have to ask: Can you name one thing whose illegality makes it unobtainable? The felons in my former state all had guns, they aren't supposed to but somehow they just didn't care. Aren't we playing checkers in a chess game anyhow? Someone is going to drone attack in this country one day, no gun required.
Tanks, hellfire missiles, combat drones, full auto weapons.
I mean…quite a few things.
But if you’re arguing that laws don’t prevent people from doing stuff then you’re arguing we shouldn’t have laws in general.
Recidivism is an issue because we don’t actually try to rehabilitate criminals in our society, an overwhelming majority of crime is due to desperation. Judges only work on sentencing, not rehabilitation. It’s not the judges job to rehabilitate criminals.
And I’m not talking about war torn areas I’m talking regular people in the United States.
No Random citizen is buying military grade weaponry like missiles and tanks.
