If that's how you feel, then all laws mean pretty much nothing. The only reason any of it matters, is if we all agree to abide by them. Technically, anyone can commit any crime, at any time. The rest of us need to hold those people accountable, or as you said...none of it matters.
Laws aren't a matter of public consensus (although public consensus is one way of determining what should be illegal). They're meaningful if men with guns show up and use force against someone who breaks them.
They're only meaningful if the rest of us allow that to happen.
