Because the 9th amendment isn't as vague as possible, right?
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Where do you read "We cannot allow mentally ill people from owning fire arms due to perceived privacy rights". It also does not say any rights are unqualified or unfettered - meaning, there can in fact be restrictions.
