I don't think there's any charter to protect the citizens from themselves. In addition, I'm sure the vast majority of the state and federal politicians from your home state would laugh you out to door, if you made that suggestion, and carry on with their tirades on how OSHA, USDA, etc. federal regulations are killing the nation.
Clearly, history has shown us, as does your example, the federal government is more than willing and cable of taking care of careless citizens even if we don't like it. I feel like motorcycle riders have been written off as expendable and no longer worthy of protection because of a fringe demographic from the 70's that DID have the political fortitude to get their agenda pushed, and approved, having the intentional/unentional? consequence of cheaping all of our lives in the eyes of an apathetic public.
If my actions our words save one life, let the apathetic critics bring the criticism, ridicule, and venom, it makes the moral victory that much sweeter.
