Guess we just ought to legalize murder then, since banning it hasn’t stopped it.

  If you believe that people do not kill because it is illegal, you are on a shaky ground mon ami.

    It's like the military says, "We can't make you do something, but we can make you wish you had." People understanding the negative consequences of potential actions is a bedrock of society. If a person is not amenable to acting out of compassion for others, they should at least have a fear of the repercussions for being violent towards them.

    I believe that likely criminal punishment is absolutely a reason there aren’t as many murders as there could be.

    I would agree that many (most?) people would not kill even if it was legal. But not all.
