I attribute more laws are due to poor research.  I helped out with a hunter's
education course a few years back, and mentioned to the conservation officer
some laws counter acted other laws.  How do they expect an 11 y/o kid to apply
proper judgment when 2 laws conflict with each other?  the officers are well
aware of it, and tell students to be able to explain why they made the
decision they made.  That is where teaching the concepts of ethics comes in.  
The ethical approach tends to side with the "spirit", or what was meant by
the law makers.

Getting old laws fixed also takes time and money.  Unless you're rich or can
muster up enough momentum to gather larger number s of signatures on a
petition, you'll sound like every other schmo on a soap box.
