Agree. Laws against drivers speeding on the highways don't seem to deter all drivers from speeding on highways, so let's not have laws against speeding? Laws against murder don't seem to deter murderers, so let's not have laws against murder? Laws against convicted felons owning guns don't seem deter many felons from owning guns, so let's not have laws against felons owning guns? Where does it stop?
