I didn't say all laws are 100% effective, or even greater than 0% effective. I stated why we have laws at all. Pretty wild logic you've got here. Let's try this one:

> Making murder illegal didn't stop people from murdering. Only a person can stop themselves from doing something, that's not something a law does.

Should we not have rape, murder, arson, or fraud laws?
