If breaking and entering is made legal and regulated…. would crime rates drop dramatically?
If murder was made legal and regulated, would crime rates drop dramatically?
Of course, if crime is made legal, it’s no longer a crime, therefore crime rates would drop, on paper.
Best of all, if it were legal, the instances of such behavior would also drop dramatically. Oh yes, it’s true.
