If you believe it's still a sin to commit murder then you are establishing the righteousness found in the law, because the law says murder is a sin. I will agree that we are not bound by the sacrifices prescribed in the law, because Jesus is the only sacrifice we need to obtain forgiveness of sin. This does not, however, change the fact that sin is the transgression of the law. You do a good job of presenting one part of what the NT says concerning the law, but you are leaving out the other parts that are there to act as a counter weight to keep people from getting the wrong idea about what Paul is trying say.

When Jesus established a New Covenant he established new laws, just like it says in Hebrews. It is not only wrong to murder under the New Covenant you can't hate your brother either. If it is only found in the law it stays there.
