It's a law.


How it's administered, and whether it is honored, is another story, and depends on much more than what is written in the law.




We have laws that forbid murder.


If murders continue to be perpetrated, it is not because there is no law against it, or because the law needs to be changed. There is a multitude of issues that come into play here, and I don't intend to get buried in them. My point is the law as written is adequate - - it just needs to be followed.
