"LAWS DO NOT CREATE CRIME."

Sure they do.

Gun laws create crime where a law abiding citizen seeks to exercise their constitutional rights.

The Bush signed Campaqign Finance Reform creates crime when a citizen wants to exercise his first amendment rights.

Prohibition creates crime by creating a huge financial incentive, and the corruption created by the smuggling far outweighs the harm caused by the substances banned. So do the erosion of civil liberties caused by laws used to purse said smuggling.
