You're right, it is moronic.
Nanny State is a term with a fairly unambiguous definition which I linked on the last page. There's not much I can do if some spuds are going to keep being pig-headed about it.

Gun laws are about the better protection of the public as a whole. The evidence is the difference in the death rate between Australia & the USA.
My favorite is the battle between the needs to have child immunisation versus those who rail against it. Immunisation has a slight risk to the individual, but the risk to the community as a whole is much greater if children aren't protected.
The Alco pops laws were designed to stop the spread of cheap sweet alcohol, it clearly failed.
Cigarette packaging is another battle ground. Im not so sure the plain packaging is working but I'd like to see them taxed out of existence. The are a massive health hazard & cost.
So you need to look at it on a law by law basis & decide if the majority are better for it. Surely that is the best test?
