This is a poor argument. All but the most extreme libertarians and anarchists acknowledge that there must be some limits on activities on private property and limits on purchase.
Should the government be able to limit your ability to cook meth in your house?
Should the government be able to limit your ability to play 100db music at 1am?
Should the government be able to limit your ability to store radioactive material on your property?
Should the government be able to limit your ability to store highly noxious chemicals or perform highly noxious activities on your property?
The answer to all is, yes, with some limits. A suburban neighbor is different than a 100 acre rural farm property. There should be rules, and they should be different.
Define "the government". Who is able to make decisions about your behavior on private property, the limit of their power, and how much say you have over their power (vs. your neighbor or another random citizen two towns away) is very important and absolutely should not be made up on a case by case basis.
