You're probably right.
It is far easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
The only problem is that when things like this happen, and there is a public outcry, there is then a rush to enact laws to fix the problem. More often than not, the new laws or regulations do nothing to fix the problem and/or create more problems.
In the law, we say that bad facts often make bad law. This means that sometimes cases with bad set of facts are often appealed all the way to Supreme Court (Federal or state level). The justices then issue a ruling, in response to the bad facts of that particular case, which then has an impact on all other cases. Since teh facts of the case that led to the Supreme court decision are not likely to be ever be repeated, we are then stuck with court decisions that have far reaching impact.
