It's a whole lot more difficult to change/remove laws than it is to add them. Maybe not "technically", but it seems as if they gather momentum by being implemented, and relied on by a multitude of parties, that they essentially become entrenched.
Not to mention the fact that we don't hold people accountable for questionable outcomes after the laws are enacted. We're essentially stabbing in the dark, expecting to have a more "accurate" stab the next time around using previous experience. Social policies, and their results are inherently grey, and we should treat the laws that surround them as such.
