Mare, no laws against killing have ever prevented one individual from killing another. The purpose of the law is not to prevent people from killing, it is to provide a means of punishment for those who do it anyway.Since it is obvious that murder and manslaughter laws don't prevent the acts, are you suggesting that we strike all murder and manslaughter laws from the books? Hell, the laws against arson, assault, theft, vandalism, speeding and jaywalking don't prevent those acts either. Should we strike them as well. Should we strike all laws that don't entirely prevent the act that they make illegal?Once more, your thinking breaks down in practice.
