Thoughts on the Constitution, page 1

I had a thought while driving to work today. What if firearms and munitions had not been invented during the original crafting of the Constitution. Would it not have been required of Congress and at least ¾ of the States to implement an Amendment permitting the Nations military branches (and citizens) to use these objects for the purposes of taking the lives of others and/or for personal/national/State defense or would the government and the people just be able to use them as they desired; and if the former, would there ever have been the need for a 2nd Amendment? Furthermore, would the government ever have possessed the right to (or attempt to) prevent citizens from “bearing arms”?

I started thinking this, because of the means that the government is using various technologies to date. Sure electronic technology did not exist back in the late 1700’s so they could not have even conceived of it, though if it had could we all not be assured the Nations Framer’s would have enumerated it within the Constitution? Actually, in a way they did by ensuring power to the States and the people through the enumeration clauses themselves (Amendments IX and X, respectively).

Thus, I began thinking it was ultimately the private, spirited, and intellectual minds of private and free citizens, and corporations, and of businesses (which consist of people of the same in being and intent) throughout the entire world that have worked together over time and over space to create and advance technology for the benefit of themselves as much as for all of mankind and since every bit since the dawn of time, so what right is it for the government of any nation (let alone a single nation) to use such means and capabilities against any private and free people, let alone their own private and free people?

It began to dawn upon me that the spirit of the Constitution actually compels the government to the advantage of their private and free people to enter (all) the rights of the use, the scope, the limitations, and the purposes of incorporating new technologies within the breadth of their functions, operations, and duties. Otherwise, there is no accountability, no guidelines, there is nothing telling the government anything one way or the other, (only the opportunity for tyranny and corporatism to commence). Hence, if this is not the case then overtime as technology gets more and more advanced the Constitution, essentially, becomes “just a goddamn piece of paper” - [George W. Bush (2007)].
