| bouzane said: They have very few guns in China so they simply use explosives. Gangs should be attacked at their roots (legalize the drugs they sell to destroy their source of income) for a far more comprehensive solution to gun crime. |
Then the focus would just switch to human trafficking, illegal gambling, whatever is illicit and highly profitable as a result.
On the extreme end of this kind of thinking, one would probably argue that if you just legalized everything, then hey; no one would be a criminal and ergo, there would be no crime, which doesn't work in reality.
Regardless of what's being regulated (prostitution, drugs, firearms), the key shortcoming is that the laws rarely address the root issue (demand) and instead focus mainly on being able to prosecute once the crime (violating regulatory law) has been committed.
