Blue laws were an attempt to make people behave in a particular fashion. It's like the old saying goes, "a lock only keeps an honest man out."
If laws like that were really effective, then murder would never happen because it's illegal everywhere.
It's up to each person to change his or her heart.
I remember when Oregon repealed the blue laws and liquor stores could be open on Sundays. Most did not, because they already had their schedules worked out and wanted Sunday off, just like everyone else.
