This would seem to be a particularly dangerous argument to offer, inasmuch as the regulations that paralyzed the gun market roughly ten years ago in Massachusetts were couched behind the false flag of "consumer safety." For example, they demanded that guns have completely unreasonable trigger pulls so prevent six-year-olds from operating them, and banned the sale of any out-of-production collectible for which you were unwilling or financially unable to provide six identical units to the state for destructive testing.
