Yes governments could come after LN nodes as money services businesses, especially with the whole synthetic assets but that only pushes nodes to be run in other regions, or run your node over tor.
They could make a law that attempts to regulate Lightning nodes but they can't actually stop your node from running one. The government only fries big fish. There is no way the feds will know you have a node and bother to knock on your door to seize it.
