Most of the laws the government has to keep you "safe" have two reasons for being:
1) The people (voters) like to be safe, their representatives pass legislation to keep them safe (police, ect.)
2)The government collects taxes from people. The safer these people are, the longer they live and the more taxes they are likely to pay.
