Something like "Nanny-state" appears inadequate as it implies the need for the state to supply every need without necessarily implying the state's desire to control and restrict.
So why not just call them restricted and non-restricted states. You could also further this by stating moderately restricted (ie. California) versus non-restricted (AZ) which is constitutional carry.
