I believe that a person's disagreement with regulation has to do with their own personal life experience and experience with the regulation itself. For example, someone's political views likely influence how they feel about government regulated mask mandates versus individual establishments having their own mandates. Within a small storefront, from what I have observed, people are more likely to follow the rules and requests of the owners for customers to wear a mask.
Political views and feelings of agreement/disagreement on government regulation is a direct relationship. Another example would be environmental regulations from the government. There are normally inherently good when it comes to protecting our national parks and wildlife, but politics and individual opinions determine whether or not the regulations are accepted and welcomed by citizens. Examples of environmental government regulations include, and are not limited to, the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Atomic Energy Act.
Certain environmental regulations have occurred, one specifically being the removal of the Clean Power Plan under the Trump administration. Majority of people who feel strongly about the state of the planet and these regulations disagree with this regulation.
In a more abstract absd broad sense, people are likely to be very adamant about government regulation depending on their own personal life experiences. If a child has immigrant parents, they will likely disagree with most immigration regulations because it strikes a personal, emotional chord. Someone who works for the National Park Service will likely disagree with a lack of government regulation when it comes to public land preservation because of their personal experience with their job and the need they see for change.
There are so many regulations that go on in every avenue of life by the government; it is almost impossible to be aware of every single one. It is human nature to pick a few things to be passionate about and care more about the government's interference with these specific areas.
