More Laws = More Crime

It's pretty simple, if you want a lower crime rate, make less things illegal. I don't recall asking the government to be my nanny. MOST LAWS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY REAL INJURY. THE MAJORITY OF OUR LAWS ARE AIMED AT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN, NOT AT WHAT DID HAPPEN. You might hurt someone with that Illegal Assault Weapon,  go to jail! You might hurt someone if you drive 35 in a 25. Pay a Fine!  There is no end to what might happen. Drones were targeted before any harm was done because of course it Might Happen! We pay for the incarceration of thousands of people because of what they might have done!  Does this make any sense to you? And no one asks to see the data. BY WHAT MATRIX DOES THE GOVERNMENT USE TO CONCLUDE SOMETHING IS DANGEROUS?  AND FINALLY, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY?  AND FOR THOSE WHO TOUT CONCERNS OF SAFETY, WITH ALL THE THOUSANDS OF RESTRICTIONS WE LIVE WITH EVERY DAY DO YOU FEEL SAFE?  Hundreds of thousands of laws exist that restrict us for what a few would do. We are prisoners of the few. We gave it away and you tell me still you don't feel safe. That we need more Laws. The truth is you will never feel safe. Their is no Safe no matter the Laws.

Laws are not made to make us feel safe, they are made to prosecute those who make us feel UN-safe.
