Unclear on the Concept

If you want to enforce the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences. [More]

There. I fixed it for you.

The hyperlinked article concludes with "If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences."

Would the followup article start with "If you want to enforce the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences"?

I left a comment on the letters to the editor page.

I think I called it "Response to a Short-sighted statist." It may or may not show up on their LTE page or in print. Their choice.

Doggoneit, I forgot to save it so I could share it here.

I'll sum up for you. If the scofflaws were all convicted of violating the new law, 10% of the state's population might be new felons. The department of corrections would need to grow by a factor of about 20, and it would cost $350,000,000 per day just for the new arrivals.

I think the state really doesn't want to enforce the law; they can't afford to. I think they REALLY don't want to deal with the III% or more who might respond in kind to an armed home invasion.
