Well, the Second Amendment does specifically address firearms ownership, and it's there to help honest Americans protect the other amendments of the same document.

Abortion and gay marriage, on the other hand, are not directly mentioned anywhere in the United States Constitution. This is probably why the federal government should have no say in the matter anyway. Leave it up to the individual states to decide, as the Founders originally intended.
