If laws actually prevented crime, why do we still have crime? We have more laws and codes then we can even count, and it's so intentionally convoluted that a new profession was created. If laws were so successful, why is the prison population so high?

Well aren't we quite the obedient subject? I assume you would do whatever they ask of you, right? Were you hoping for some good citizen biscuits from your uncle sam?
>They're behavioral standards,
Doesn't make sense at all. Who gets to set the standard? Standards are completely subjective, it's like trying to impose your idea of "right or wrong" to others. You can keep clinging to the idea of "laws" forced upon you at birth all you like. Not everyone is still falling for it.
In this scenario, it's obvious an armed thug paid by our taxes, murders the very tax payer because this is the bottom line. Spin all the should have and could have's all you like, this is the reality. Laws were created for the convenience of lawmakers. It was never about your well-being.
