i’m suprised that the 85% of the US population who supports gambling is just going to let this bill live. The government tried to ban alcohol back in the 20s, no one was going to do it and that gave birth to the biggest crime organization in the world with Al Capone. This is just going to do the same thing and there will most likly be huge gangs and criminal organizations forming because of it.
That’s a bit of a stretch. The reason there is limited outcry is because it’s not actually gambing that 85% support, but the right to do what they want with their own money.
Ask any non-gambler (which is 85% of the population, at least) if they think people should be able to gamble with their own money and they’ll say “sure”, ask them if they care if online gambling is banned and they’ll say “not really”.
I would imagine if they banned all 28 states that offer some form of gambling then you’d see the protesting.
Unfortunately, the number affected is just not as large as there was with prohibition.
