I am fully capable of determining my own level of risk with investing and frankly find it insulting that the government would presume to limit my choices.

Restricting trading of leverage products is unwarranted. The brokerage companies give you ample information and disclosures about the risks. This type of product is fast moving and should be monitored throughout the day. It is a short-term trade. Overnight positions are extremely dangerous.
