The natural order of government is to prohibit tools of freedom. Leaving the issue of prohibition/protection up to the legislature is to subject a natural right to the whims of those who would rather you not have it. The whole point of a “bill of rights” is to pointedly tell the government “hands off - it’s not yours to control in either direction”.
