Law enforcement experts recognize that gambling prohibitions are impossible to enforce. When a law fails to be effective, it should not be a law. Therefore, there should be no legal prohibition against gambling.
The conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
- A law that cannot possibly be enforced is thereby an ineffective law.
- Any law that is effective must also be one that can be enforced.
- The government should enact only those laws that the public broadly supports.
- The public routinely ignores most prohibitions against gambling.
- Every ineffective law is also impossible to enforce.
