The issue isn't mercury.
It's the incremental encroachment of congress into the sovereignty of the Citizens.
If they can tell me what light bulb to have, next they will tell me when I can turn it on and off, how many I can have, for what purposes I can use it, etc.
The bottom line: elected representatives and appointed officials are excercising authority loaned to them by the Citizens.
The authority belongs to the Citizens.
They are not my boss, I am their boss.
Unfortunately, the iron law of oligarchy is starting to take hold in these United States.
Not quite yet ready to put on my tin-foil hat, but the pending 2nd Amendment ruling would seem to bear some great importance in the long term.
