Why New York's 'Assault Weapon' Ban Didn't Stop the Buffalo Massacre
It really ain't a secret. If passing laws stopped crime,there wouldn't BE any crime.
As in "None at all".
Laws are passed to PUNISH crime at BEST,but mostly to control and/or manipulate the citizens while making the lawyers,a special breed of creature that makes the laws,richer and more powerful.
I write "mostly" because we all know than other than a handful of crimes like rape,murder,etc,etc,etc,most laws SEEM to be passed purely to benefit the wealthy and the powerful.
