We know poeople are terrible with guns so we...um..try to protect their freedom to be terrible.

That’s correct. We only need one law. Restaurant food poisoned you? NAP violation.
Even that might be too much. As you’ve insightfully illustrated, 1 law is a slippery slope to infinite laws. Next thing you know we need a license to toast bread in our own damn toasters.
