Considering what was the topic of the thread, hardly a change of tune. Of course, you cannot point to any authority for FedGov to ban substances or objects, 'cause it is NOT THERE. Per the founders, FedGov can do ONLY WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS IT MAY, not whatever "feels good" at the moment. You guys are just like the LIBERAL statists: if it ain't there, INVENT IT.

Clause 6: To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
