Saying you don't need laws to be moral is certainly not the same as saying there should be no laws. A basic understanding of human behavior and a little bit of historical knowledge is all it takes to know that's an absolutely absurd idea, so I doubt there are relatively too many people that actually advocate such a thing.

And I have to disagree with you on humans being basically good. I think it's more of a 50/50 split.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
