Quite right. Neither is there anything in "legislatures" which entwines theft and gravity. "Law", like other words such as "apprehension" has more than a single meaning.
Thankfully we have dictionaries to help us out.

But that’s not a ‘law’ is it. That’s just a ‘normal’ reaction to a terrible event for anyone who’s been brought up with any appreciation for, and consideration of, other human life. To call it a ‘law’ is misleading in the extreme and likely to make any debate tangential to what I think the OP actually meant.
I always thought that the ten commandments helped to form our moral compass. From an early age most older people probably attended Sunday School. The commandments taught us right from wrong. They are not man made laws but a moral framework to life. Nowadays not as many children attend Sunday Schools and grow up without the slightest clue as to what morals are.
