Let me see... we have BROAD attempts to sue firearms manufacturers out of business, coupled with attempts to outlaw the purchase of spare parts and ammunition. And THIS is to an object specifically protected under the second amendment. As to tobacco and fast foods, where is the protection for them? I can't find specific authorization for we the people to use tobacco and/or eat fast foods. Your logic tells me that if there is no specific amendment ALLOWING us to do something, gooberment can prohibit us from doing/owning/ingesting/whatever it... Yet the Constitution for the United States is a specific limitation on the powers of GOVERNMENT... and GRANTS NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER... It compels government to recognize God-Given, PREEXISTING rights, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO those enumerated. It also says that Government may only exercise the SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATED POWERS. You seem to want to turn that on its head for some reason. Why?

You will get no rational answer.
The logic of this matter, - this socialistic effort to prohibit by government fiat, - is irrefutable.
