I wonder, is it illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament whilst wearing a suit of armour?
I saw a show recently where the host stated that because of all the laws on the books, everyone is a lawbreaker. Not only is it impossible to know them all, but some are so ridiculous that they are violated every day.
Somewhere it's a law that anyone driving a horseless carriage must have a person walking in front with a lantern announcing their presence. I'm pretty sure I've violated that one.
Just for clarity, the United States is a republic not a democracy. And the FAA, and other government agencies, write regulations based on law, not laws. The U.S. Congress passes laws.
