Some dumb laws were not dumb when passed but became dumb due to technology or community standards or new legal rulings. The process of making a law is complicated but certain. the process of un-making a law is uncertain and complicated.( you have to get a majority to agree) . The lawmakers have little time to expend on unmaking laws as they are so busy making laws. So if a law proves itself to be "dumb' over time, the enforcers just stop wasting time trying to enforce it. The lawmakers do not bother to try to argue to get a majority to repeal the law. They already have too much to argue about. So they do nothing. ( they are good at that and it is free) EXAMPLE: It is still illegal to drive an automobile in Las Vegas. ( The noise frightens the horses) This law would take precious time to bring to a vote to repeal it, so they just do nothing. the police ignore the law. If they tried to enforce it, they would fail.

Why do states have dumb laws?
It's not that states have dumb laws - it is that the law was probably intended to address a reason that was valid at the time it was passed. Some laws seem really dumb - something that at the time it was passed was needed, and that you are no longer aware of. People eventually forget about these laws and they seldom get changed or removed from the statute books.
