Bitcoin core developers need to take the lead and introduce measures in the code to preempt such an attack in first place.

I do not know if that is possible. Is a POW/POS hybrid supposed to be safer/ "immune" from 51% attacks?
CryptogenicBullion makes that claim (or at least they used to), I'm not certain how it will work out long-term.

Let's say a government tried to enact a law to prevent 51% attacks, how do you regulate it?

Real good question.
This was placed in the Bitcoin section, but the topic also applies to "local crypto terrorists" who launch attacks against alt coins and then brag about it in the forum. If they could be easily caught, should they face criminal charges?
