“The” freedom of the press - all rights enumerated in the first eight amendments - were traditional under common law. And as such, rights were traditionally limited. “The” freedom of the press was traditionally limited by libel law.

So how does this “Traditional Limitation” apply to say... the 2nd?

I think that Scalia said so in his decision in the DC 2nd Amendment case.
