Cute, but specious.

If you look at the incidence of such events per population of 100,000, you'll find that such events are both illegal, and rare (with the exception of drug use, which is encouraged by probitive laws, as opposed to limited by them).

One proven method of making something "rare" is to make it a governmental monopoly.

Good education in public school. Good mail service. Safe streets. Sound retirement plan in Social Security. Sound dollar.

You really don't have a clue do you? Is your Context out to lunch? Have you, Smarty Pants, got a better idea of how to stop these heinious crimes...Oh yes, I forgot YOU'RE the SAVIOR of mankind, not Yahweh.
