The point about the redundancy of outdated laws and the need to retire or modify them is well understood.
However, one cannot help wonder whether the present genre of lawmakers we have will agree with us when we say this. After all, we have reached such a stage of degeneration where several laws have not just lost their teeth in effectively addressing the people's needs, but also one where bills sometimes are conceptualised, drafted and voted into law not for the good of the people whom they are purported to be standing for, but for guarding or even promoting the corrupt interests of the ruling classes/vested interests !!
