We have laws. . .

.
Americans have always had laws against Murder, yet we have always had Murders.

Law enforcement has always relied on the voluntary compliance of law.  And for the most part that is effective.  But not always.

As an example, most of us drive safely and within the confines of traffic law.  But as we all know, there are idiots out there that have no reverence for the law, and law enforcement officials are continually on the offensive against those that violate it.  Yet convicted offenders most often become repeat offenders.

My point is that we don't need more laws, we need more ethics.  Ethics will determine whether you buy a gun and how you will use it.  Ethics will govern whether you purchase that Fourty-ouncer and french fries, or drink and drive.  Ethics will decide whether you cheat on your taxes, or steal from your neighbor.  Ethics will set your pace for helping those in need, and cheating on your wife.  And ethics will determine whether you lie or tell the truth.
