Criminal Deeds

[DeeBye]

Using your example the law should be an anti penis law to prevent rape. Not every person with a y chromosome is going to rape someone just like every gun owner isn't out to murder. Outlawing certainly would have an effect, but not all positive. Should we also outlaw guns for police? Security? Where is the line? You're still hoping that those people can use it responsibly. Outlawing just guarantees that shady people will far outnumber law abiding when it comes to gun ownership. Control is a much more valid argument than ban.

That's a valid criticism. I'm not suggesting that we ban guns (or penises). I'm saying that using the argument of not enacting a law because law-breakers will ignore it anyways is ridiculous.
