I recall many here arguing that anything not explicitly denied is implicitly allowed. Apparently that applies to abortion, same sex marriage, et Al, abut not to guns.

That is as it should be and as it is stated in the ninth amendment. Regrettably, that amendment has been ignored.
You want to make an exception to the first amendment? Then talk to me about danger of yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
You want to make an exception to the second amendment? Then talk to me about the danger of automatic weapons.
You want to make an exception to the ninth amendment and prohibit abortion? No problem, we ignore that one anyway. But the right answer would be to talk to me about when life begins and how forcing a woman to carry a baby doesn't violate the ninth, thirteenth, and fourteenth amendments.
