When criminals become afraid of prison, crime will decrease.

The degree to which criminals fear prison is the primary determining factor in the decrease of the rate of crime.

You don’t believe me? Enforce the death penalty for premeditated murder every other year and see which years people are murdered. Enforce the death penalty for distribution of fentanyl and see how quickly the distribution comes to a virtual stop.

Okay. As much as I like the idea, that will never happen. For that reason, we will never completely rid the country of fentanyl or, for that matter, any major part of the nation.

Just remember, laws that have no teeth will also have no effect.
