There are a lot of people who want to restrict you from doing things they themselves do. Most of the ones who don't want you, a responsible adult without a criminal record, to be allowed to own firearms are in fact guarded by those with firearms. Politicians who want to pass a law with a higher minimum wage don't pay that higher wage to their interns, or even the CURRENT minimum wage.
A couple presidents ago, his first action as US Prez was to restrict the kinds of jobs the outgoing cabinet members (plus other White House appointees) could take, and then right before leaving office eight years later he repealed that edict, so it only ended up applying to the previous president's cabinet. Some politicians pushing a "net zero carbon" agenda own several mansions, but they offset that with carbon tax credits they purchase from companies. OK, if you really believed that the carbon emissions are ruining the planet, paying a little extra tax DOESN'T UNDO THAT DAMAGE.
