Can a governmental unit prohibit anyone from selling something that is legal? Is a happy meal toy in the same category as a controlled substance?

What about Snickers bars? What about T-bone steaks? How about ice cream sundaes sold to children?

Tell me how this decision cannot be viewed as arbitrary or capricious?

Called in on a tip, the local SWAT Team stormed Mrs. Smith’s Day Care and found nearly four-hundred pounds of controlled substances, including the “gateway” ‘drug’ of Engineers: the Erector Set.

Of course it is, just like banning the use of other legal products on private property. You know, smoking bans. It’s not like we didn’t see this coming....
