Well, we are sort of mixing qualifiers now. You can't sell marijuana because you can't OWN marijuana(in most states). It is an illegal substance. That is the distinction. And, while the buyer of property may be regulated (although, I'll bet a 10 year old could buy a car with cash), you can still sell the property - just not to the 10 year old (maybe).

The only private property that I can think of which you are legally allowed to own but can not legally sell are controlled substances. So, I guess I am trying to fit into context your statement that "you can't sell whatever private property you feel like" in regards to firearms. I'm just trying to understand what you are getting at.
