The writer appears to be making the misguided assumption that law is written in order to promote justice and fairness and to ensure the well-being of the citizens and nation.
Law has largely been corrupted in our nation, written to give power and cover to some and to ensure non-compliance of the rest . . . just in case Big Brother needs to keep someone or some group quiet and in line.
Some laws seem to serve no purpose aside from being a handy add on charge if the original crime (if there is one) isn’t big enough to send someone to jail over.
The law against a felon in possession of ammunition is a good example. If a guy with a felony record from 20 years past gets pulled over for speeding, he can go to prison for a shotgun shell in his console.
To further cloud the issue, its legal for a felon to hunt in Michigan.
