We have too many laws. The state and federal legislators need to spend time deleting old ones, considering the impact of new ones, and stop knee-jerking into new laws for every sad/tragic/compelling story out there. There will always be tragedies. Passing yet another law against human behavior is not going to stop the tragedies. The consequence of all these laws: almost HALF of all males age 23 have been arrested. The breakdown by race isn't as apparent as you'd think, either. Everyone is getting arrested!
