Some women are drawn to it because it's easy money, so long as they're not caught. People do all sorts of things for various reasons. I'm not worried about the motives, only that they enter into a situation of their own free will. And then we need to keep them safe.
    Not even discussing the negative psychological impacts on those in the sex trade, there's no way that prostitution is good for marriages and families. Which is probably why 70% more women want it illegal than legal (yougov). Trafficking savings could be big...but so will collateral damage.

    OTOH Gun control flat out save lives.

      I think operating managers are the house madams, while the house ownership may be a bit more evenly split.

            I guess there are major studies out aligning legalized prostitution with increases in human trafficking. One study included 116 countries and found that:

            - Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited.
            - The effect of legal prostitution on human trafficking inflows is stronger in high-income countries than middle-income countries.
            - Criminalization of prostitution in Sweden resulted in the shrinking of the prostitution market and the decline of human trafficking inflows.
            - The type of legalization of prostitution does not matter — it only matters whether prostitution is legal or not.

            Doesn't sound like a great solution for shootings.

              1) At the federal level, prostitution is legal in the USA. It's the states that make it illegal.
              2) Should a state make it a legal profession, they also need to take the steps to correctly regulate it. That means setting guidelines for who and where it's legal, and how to punish those stepping outside of the legal bounds. Make punishment for stepping outside of those bounds very steep for those who are trafficking or in anyway coercing people into the profession.
              3) Who said the people here supporting its legalization what to participate in such activities? I have no interest in purchase a hooker's time. That doesn't mean I should limit others who wish to do so, so long as nobody is hurt by the activity.

              Most places that legalize prostitution likely fail at setting guidelines for item #2 on my list.

                  As a progressive, I think its great to review possible solutions with the potential of improving society. Don't think the upside on this one is worth the risks.

                        They exist. But double that number assign sex 'additional meaning' when married.

                        Trafficking, psychological effects on sex workers and the impact on marriages/families. Perhaps not high priorities for dudes spending lots of time on the internet, but its not best for society. That said I'm done discussing something so off topic.

                          A Lockhart man who is accused of confronting Sutherland Springs church shooting victims with claims that the shooting was a hoax has been arrested on a federal charge, according to the Department of Justice.

                          Robert Mikell Ussery, 54, has been arrested for allegedly being in possession of a firearm as a convicted felon on March 5. According to the DOJ, Ussery was convicted in 1984 of burglarizing a vehicle in Brazoria County and served four years in prison.

                          On March 5, "Ussery (aka “Side Thorn”), accompanied by his girlfriend (aka “Conspiracy Granny”), entered the property of the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, TX, and verbally harassed church members," according to the DOJ. The federal complaint alleges that Ussery was knowingly in possession of a pistol that day.

                            Seriously, to commit these acts of terror, yes, there is a screw loose somewhere. Duh.

                            When (to use your suggestion of a name) Muhammed says he did it for ISIS, is QUITE a bit different than some cracker saying he did it because he couldn't get laid, got bullied, etc. The former is a greater purpose (in the perp's mind), the latter is about him personally.

                            If cracker says "I did it for Catholicism because these people believe in abortions and commit those acts" etc, then we are on the same level.

                              Let’s not act like our foreign policy of drone striking weddings and killing 100000’s of people in Iraq for no real purpose might have contributed to people joining ISIS, rather than just “yeah some Muslims are just crazy maaaan!”

                              And being an incel nut job isn’t better than being part of ISIS.

                                Not saying that at all. Some sane folks get convinced by ISIS to join up, and they get radicalized. The difference is, they are now doing it for a CAUSE rather them themselves.
