One strategy for law enforcement

Applicable to most laws and regulations:

some crimes work better than others...one thing everyone in the gun
control debate forgets, on both sides, is that gun control has no
statistical effect on gun crimes either way. Restricting access to
guns doesn't reduce gun crimes, giving victims guns doesn't deter gun
crimes, but laws giving harsher punishments for crimes involving a gun
do mean less gun crimes... substitution to other weapons inevitably
reduces casualties.


For a lot of crimes, both blue collar and white collar, that strategy
could work well
