Translation:-

Frank wants to REGULATE online gambling. You're basically saying, "Duh, uh, er...we shouldn't regulate it because it's not...um...regulated!" “Illegal off-shore Internet gambling sites are a criminal enterprise and allowing them to operate unfettered in the United States would present a clear danger to our youth, who are subject to becoming addicted to gambling at an early age.”
