Why do you need to remove a risk management tool from the individual investor. I have used both leveraged funds and inverse in my portfolio to augment my other investments and find them very useful.
If you want to "protect and educate" the consumer--develop a core study for high school students on financial literacy.

Restrictions based upon net worth and approval of a broker are discriminatory to favor the rich. I have noticed the same thing about margin restrictions.
