I believe the FDA has already claimed that the constitution doesn’t give us the right to eat whatever we want.

You have to eat to be healthy! Free food for everybody — anytime anywhere. Hot damn! Thank you, Sluke! (Wot? Fluke.)
What if the government treated guns the way it treats abortion?
14-year-olds could buy them without telling their parents. Schools could arrange to provide them to anyone who asks. Records could not be kept without compromising privacy laws. You can get as many as you want. With some medical intervention, you could get 8 or ten at a time for almost the same price as getting one. Planned Pistolhood would give them for free to qualified teens. You could cross state lines to get one, if they were hard to get in your area. There would be bumper stickers saying that every gun should be wanted.
If the government treated eating like sex, we’d all be expected to overeat and then purge like supermodels.
Great article. Thank you.

I’d like them to treat the 2nd amendment like they do their made-up 1st amendment sacrament, abortion.
I’d be getting at least a gun a month if they did that, “free” from the government.
In a society without a sacrificial cultus, sexual taboos are the closest thing we have to a moral code based solely on the authority of G-d rather than our own reason or moral instincts. This moral code must be destroyed to free us from the Tyrant In The Sky. This way, whenever our society does on occasion agree with something G-d says (as our laws against murder, rape, and theft) we demonstrate that our agreement is only coincidental and that we figured those things out on our own rather than acquiescing to Divine authority. Otherwise our society would apply all of G-d's sanctions instead of just some.
Meanwhile, anything not commented on in Divine regulations is regulated to death by humans who want to show their authority. But don't worry; so long as G-d isn't pushing us around, we're supposedly all "free."
This is why the only "right" we will soon possess will be the right to sin.
Or smoking.
The hugely disproportionate STD rate in gay areas should be treated the same way 2nd hand smoke is.
Homosexuality should be taxed and regulated the same way smoking is.
IF the issue were about community health.
