The 9th and 14th say nothing about drugs being legal. The 2nd says everything about guns being legal. I repeat, no connection.
His letter was filled with points. None of them had anything to do with a connection to the 2nd amendment. The author probably wrote a similar letter to newspapers and churches substituting "1st amendment" for "2nd amendment" and claiming that "they're coming after you next".
"We're not fighting for drugs, we're defending the Bill of Rights!". Yeah, right.
"It is essential that defenders of the 2nd Amendment understand that the whole Bill of Rights is under attack by the Drug War, and that assaults on the 2nd Amendment are a natural part of that trend.
What is the main premise of a gun-control law? It is that guns are implements which are too dangerous to entrust to the citizenry.
What is the main premise of Drug Prohibition? It is that drugs are substances which are too dangerous to entrust to the citizenry.
Both lines of reasoning say that because a few people abuse something, all Americans must be treated like children or irresponsibles. All use is abuse." -From the letter-
The 9th and 14th say nothing about drugs being legal. The 2nd says everything about guns being legal. I repeat, no connection.
The point is, - such rights do not have to be enumerated. Lord, but you are dense.

Read the quote above, and be ashamed of your blind denial of reality.

Scoff if you must. - But you have lost all your credibility here, imo.
The 9th and 14th say nothing about drugs being legal. So. You figure that the 9th amendment, to be meaningful, should be worded something like this:

to drink beer
to buy a car
to celebrate birthdays
to throw a party
to eliminate waste products
to wash clothes
to cook meals
to eat out
to cut lawns
to fly flags
to burp
to fart
to blow the nose
to wash the car
to operate a computer
to chose an operating system fot eh computer
to choose software
to write letters
to inherit property
to plant crops
to darn socks
to travel
to walk the dog
to sing
to snore
to rise early
to rise late
to spend money
to eat turkey
to eat chicken

(et endless cetera)
