Ignorance of law excuses no one

"ignorance of law excuses no one" is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because they are unaware of what it is.
A study from the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy counts about 300 "relevant federal and state laws regarding the manufacture, design, sale, purchase, or possession of guns." The key word here is "relevant."

The study does not include a tally of local gun laws. There are a multitude of laws governing the use and ownership of guns. So how many laws are there? No one knows.

And how many laws are there in America? Again, no one knows. By the 1980s, there were 50 volumes of more than 23,000 pages of laws.

Laws are meant to be broken
