John,
I don't think Jim indicated that the this wasn't the law, or that he believed that the law would be overturned.
Simply he took the position that it was not immoral for a 12 year old to gamble under the supervision of an adult.
Questions of legality often have nothing to do with morality. There are many things which are not immoral whcih are illegal and many things which are immoral but legal.
