  Correct. Mostly cops will arrive after the crime and rarely will there be active crime in progress.
  So it is more that laws set consequences for committing crimes. 
  There are some laws that prevent crime 100% time. For example, no witches have been caught flying on their broomsticks higher than 150m in Swaziland.
  But in USA there is no external panel evaluating crimes done by police.
context: Yeah. So is murder but they did that anyways. >
  
  Thus proving conclusively murder control laws do not work >
  
  To prevent bad guy with a murder, you need a good guy with murder.
  But seriously, this 0 accountability is very big problem, and nobody wants to tackle it politically. >
  
  maybe, laws are not about just preventing crime but holding people accountable once they do... crazy idea. I know.
  There is no law that prevents anything 100% of the time.
  Gun nuts always focus on CriMINAL DOnt FollOW Law" - duh... but without the law, there would be no crime, thus no process to even hold them responsible..
