George Washington raised and sold tobacco, as well as wiskey. The founding fathers did not envision such a narrow view of personal rights, else they would have clearly spelled them out. But that doesn't work too well either, nearly half the idiots in government and the judicial system can't understand the 2nd amendment, and that is both quite clear and in writing.
