Your first example is a case of lawmakers not willing to finish the job moreso than of regulation being bad.

That is like saying "when we write software there are bugs, so rather than fix them, we should never write software again".

Your second example is ascribing to regulation something that goes way beyond regulation.

No, what he says is "when we write software there are bugs, so we should write less software".

As opposed to "we should fix the bugs we find".
