No perhaps about that. The Sir Humphries actually draft the acts, and what a dogs' breakfast they make of it too.

However the politicians tell them what laws they want, leaving it to them to cock up the details in practice. So, ultimately it is the politicians to blame for the knee jerk reactions that lead to stupid laws like outlawing guns that are used for shooting bits of paper in competition, while every lowlife pusher has access to firearms the law can't remove.
