#1 TL;DR

#2 At any given moment, it has been said we all are breaking some law. I don't know whether this is true or not; however, it is easy to believe it is true.

Trying to get rid of useless laws would be a Hurculean task. Who would decide such things? Some left-wing anarchic mob such as BLM, Antifa, Dem Party hacks or some other group? That amounts to mob rule and leads to star chambers and kangaroo courts. We have seen some of that lately in faked investigations, frame-ups and questionable trials (Flynn and Stone, e.g.)

Nazi Germany tried having State-appointed lawyers and judges who designed faux laws during a trial to get rid of opponents and enemies. That did not work out well.

Some reform is needed, it's not clear exactly where it should be aimed. To begin with, we should get rid of laws that are not Constitutionally supported.

#3 > "Police reform and gun reform go hand in hand. Reducing the easy availability of guns would not eliminate the problems with policing in America nor end unwarranted killings, but it would help."

Tells me all I need to know right there. FOAD.

#4 @#2 - There's a book out called "Three Felonies A Day" (not a paid advertisement, just FYI), so just be mindful of that personal crime wave you commit.
