Paraphrasing - We do not WANT you to obey the laws, there is no way to control a free and innocent man. Instead we make the laws TO be broken, therefore making you a criminal and giving us the ability, right and obligation to control you.
Exactly. The increasing expansion of laws and regulations, along with ever increasing numbers of federal state and local agencies to enforce those laws and regulations means that we are going to have an increasing number of “criminals.” Your dog poops on a sidewalk and you are now a criminal. Throw away an environmentally friendly lightbulb and you are now a criminal. According to statistics, 99% of internet transactions are criminal because the purchaser does not fill out the form and pay the “use” tax to his state government.
When everything’s a crime, everyone’s a criminal.
It is a great scam to implement gun control because if they can get you on a felony then you can no longer own a gun.
I think that higher arrest rates produces a society that no longer cares about the laws. It is like getting a disciplinarian write up at work, if everyone has one then they have all lost their meaning.
