None of this is specified in any of the books or movies. Idk where it comes from. The Muggle Protection Act in the books is referenced completely without any specifics whatsoever other than that Arthur wrote it and Lucius opposed it.
Lucius IS raided by the government specifically under the muggle protection act, but the purview he's describing at the time is poisons and torture devices.
In any case. Old Rolling Pin has never been good at political commentary. In her world the news is completely controlled by high class elitists who want the population at large to be disarmed and specifically not trained in self defense.
The government is irredeemably corrupt, and attempts to ruin the reputation of any populist leader that refuses to work for them. One of its primary excesses is attempting to exercise control over independent organizations such as Hogwarts which are held up as examples of private institutions who should be allowed to hire who they like and set their curriculum.
And then Dumbledore as that school's head specifically hires incompetents based on non-work related factors which leads to near deaths of children, cronyism, and rampant institutional abuse. This is all framed as wrong and misguided but for understandable reasons.
JK Rowling : ''Scotland independance proponents are Death Eaters''.
Also JK Rowling, after the UK declares independance from the EU : ''Well Scotland has to do the right thing now and declare independance from the UK to rejoin the EU''.
Not the sharpest tool in the police raid box of confiscated cuttelry.

Frankly it's great.

The irony of the whole "wizards deny goblins access to wands" coming from an anti-gun commentator will always be tasty.
