I agree with you if you are talking about adults. But what about their children? Should a child die just because their parents decided that a prayer would cure them?
Most regulations aren't there to protect what people do to themselves, but to limit what they can do to others.
A responsible child can probably carry a gun to school, but do you trust all children?
The author would probably kill his cattle in a humane way, but can we count on everyone to do so?

Less than 50 years ago, they carried their rifles to school on the bus every day, and kept them in their lockers. They also took gun safety courses in school. I don't find it at all surprising that kids are less responsible with guns now: when I work with kids, I find they live up (or down) to the level of your expectations. > The author would probably kill his cattle in a humane way, but can we count on everyone to do so? From everything I've seen, many/most farms still don't, so the USDA is more of a nuisance for those that want to do it right, than a way to force the bad ones to improve. The government is made up of people, too: you can't just sprinkle farms with the magic pixie dust of "government regulation" and have everything magically work out.
