Scott, I'm not sure the analogy holds though. In the case of guns, I might
more rightfully restrict someone else's rights because the guns owned by
them have the potential to kill  ME. However, in the case of abortion, I
don't have quite the same bargaining position, because it is difficult for
someone to abort ME now that I am born. (Indeed, I've been an adult for eons
it seems.)

<Conservatives are all for constitutionality of laws . . .until they aren't

All you need to look at are those trying to restrict 2nd Amendment
constitutional rights of gun ownership on the grounds that guns can be used
as tools to kill people and compare them to those trying to restrict 14
Amendment constitutional rights of abortion on grounds that it kills people.
It's the identical mode of operation where folks feign to give up rights
that they never plan to exercise in order to take away those same rights
from others.

Bravo Shirley!

So, does this mean that when I rush out to buy that lusted-after
Idaho-manufactured Uzi clone (just.. you know. for some fun shooting
squirrels around the house), that it might misfire in my face due to a lack
of its compliance with federal regs??!!
