There is no moral aspect to the murder laws? I disagree. There are multiple reasons we have these laws, and morality does play a valuable part.

Murder is illegal because it violates the rights of another person, not because it’s ‘immoral’. Any moral aspect is absolutely minuscule compared to that. Even if we grant there is ‘some’ moral aspect, you surely don’t think we mostly legislate against murder because of morality, right?
