Mind-boggling how the painfully obvious can be so relentlessly ignored.
Worth repeating. Why do these socialists continue to fantasize that criminals will obey the law?
Deep down, the socialists don't believe it. But they believe that criminals preying on the innocent is a "small price to pay" for advancing socialism even more. Get those "little people" used to the idea that their lives and property aren't safe from the criminals. Then they won't object when the socialist government itself replaces the criminal as their major predator.
