Consider this: We are all go through a roughly similar socialisation process in a society, meaning many will have a similar understanding that murder is bad, what privat property is and what I can and can't do with it and what freedom is. Then the lawmakers pass a law that clashes with something that many believed in. In this case with property rights. In such a case people will not follow laws without thinking about it, instead they will consider carefully the tradeoffs of breaking it. People are not robots that follow new rules mechanically, the rules must be reasonable to them.
