It is inaccurate to describe laws which protect the rights of individual Americans as constituting regulation.

Regulation is a rule by which to subject its subtenancy by the management of a governing body.

Law is an established rule by which society adheres to in order to protect the common good and rights of individuals.

subtenancy = subordinates

My apologies for the typo

"It is inaccurate to describe laws which protect the rights of individual Americans as constituting regulation."

Finally you have hit upon the only acceptable function of government. Its purpose should not be to create a caliphate but to protect the individual citizens from those that would seek to control their lives and remove their property . . . both of which are often done in the name of legislating morality.
