Det samme gælder for terrorister. Hvis du mener, at terrorgrupper udnytter en ureguleret og uovervåget industri såsom online gambling-industrien, så kan du ved at regulere den se, hvor pengene går hen, og sikre dig, at de ikke skal finansiere internationale terrorangreb. Det eneste, der opnås ved at forbyde det, er, at de kriminelle får et stærkere greb om branchen.
Forbuddet mod online gambling minder meget om krigen mod stoffer. Hvis marihuana blev legaliseret i USA ville forbrydelser relateret til det næsten forsvinde fuldstændigt, fordi det ville blive solgt i butikker og det ville blive kontrolleret, en anden fordel ville være, at folk ikke længere ville komme i fængsel for marihuana-relaterede anklager, dette betyder, at tusindvis af færre mennesker bliver arresteret og kommer i fængsel hvert år, hvilket ville spare os for skattepenge, som kunne bruges bedre .
The same goes for terrorists. If you believe terrorist groups are exploiting an unregulated and unmonitored industry such as the online gambling industry, then by regulating it you can see where the money is going and make sure it is not going to fund international terrorist attacks. All that is accomplished by banning it is that the criminals get a stronger grip on the industry.
The ban on online gambling is much like the war on drugs. If marijuana was legalized in the USA crimes related to it would almost go away completely, because it would be sold in stores and it would be controlled, another advantage would be that people would no longer be going to jail for marijuana-related charges, this means thousands of fewer people getting arrested and going to jail every year, which would save us tax money that could be better spent.
