Yes, of course, the law is only working if it’s enforced.
There are laws against shoplifting. I still used to do it a lot when I was a teen. But lots of people didn’t, because they were afraid they’d get caught.
If it had been legal, we all would have been doing it.
Now that’s a stupid analogy. But I suspect you knew that.
I believe there many more people who did not shoplift for the reason that it is wrong to steal; period. Don't try to qualify your wrong doing by projecting. Please
