I don't know which Randian utopia samevans lives in, but in the United States, governmental entities across the country are chasing after reimbursement for their efforts. This ranges from mountain climbing rescues to charging for putting out wildfires started by arson or accident and it extends to charging the person's estate should they end up dead. Besides, in a real Randian utopia, Real Men wouldn't need rescuing by weak, socialist organizations like the USCG.

Also, we do restrict all Americans because of a few idiots. For a start, we have seatbelt and helmet laws and a 21 drinking age all being enforced with more and more draconian penalties. From a personal freedom viewpoint, I have a problem with these laws, but as long as people are going to be irresponsible about their personal safety and then expect me to pay for their injuries when a seatbelt or helmet could have easily prevented that injury, I'm fine with them. In other words, I look at a lot (not all) of these "nanny laws" as protecting me from another person or their lawyer, not the government telling me what to do.
