I guess that law is to protect ourselves. The same goes for motorcycle helmets. Most states require them now.

In every one of those cases you mention, a law was passed to take away your/my/someone's freedom to make a choice. And, at least a few of those cases were very controversial because it was acknowledged that a freedom was being taken away.
Be careful cheering for your "freedoms" that come at a price for someone else. Tomorrow someone else might be cheering for a "freedom" that costs you.
