You wish to see it as ridiculous. It is exactly what modern liberals are doing on a whole host of issues.
Do you object to government outlawing murder too? Let's see if you have the mental comprehension to grasp my next point.
If murder was an accepted right when a coalition of states joined the Union, and if murder was explicitly protected by a clause in the agreement signed between the parties as a condition of joining the union, then yes, I would have to object to government unilaterally outlawing murder.
Show me where secession was an accepted right at the outset of the Union, and where the process for doing so was detailed. Show me the instrument where the southern states were allowed to seize Federal property. Show me where Lincoln moved to take away southerners “right” to slavery before 1861. Do you also object to Washington using armed troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion?
It’s interesting that a Southron like you sides with the Democrats who refused to accept the results on an election in 1860, as they did in 2000 and 2016.
“....I would have to object to government unilaterally outlawing murder.”
Shall I assume that you’re ok with legalized abortion??
