When a bank robber or murderer is taken off the streets it's the end of the problem.
It depends..if the punishment is harsh enough - there is something called deterrence!
Same thing with drugs--if we were serious about this horrendous problem we would get serious on the punishment side of things.

Do you acknowledge the point I put forth when I wrote "When a bank robber or murderer is taken off the streets it's the end of the problem. When a drug dealer is sent to jail there's ten drug dealers fighting to take over the old dealers turf."
