Seems to be what they are up to.
Pass enough laws and regulations and none of us can avoid being a law breaker.
Won’t apply to our rulers though.
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system.”

You are right on the rulers not having to follow this. Another question is who would enforce this if it is a federal law. FBI, Secret Service, ATF (whatever the call it now)? It would end up being another job for the state at the state’s expense. We have had laws being put on the books for the last 230 years. Looks like we would have enough of them by now.
