Irrelevant. The "right to privacy" isn't in there, neither in the original text or in amendment form, but that didn't stop the SCOTUS from establishing a "right" based on it. Bottom line, gun ownership has stronger Constitutional protection than does abortion.
The COTUS does not need to be amended, the genius of the COTUS is it is ambiguous enough to allow justices to decide issues which effect many citizens by the margin of 5-4.
The Bill of Rights is a list of limits on government power. For example, what the Founders saw as the natural right of individuals to speak and worship freely was protected by the First Amendment’s prohibitions on Congress from making laws establishing a religion or abridging freedom of speech. For another example, the natural right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion in one’s home was safeguarded by the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirements.
They were "additions", after the fact to deal with concerns over the Constitution, which didn't mention such things. That's why they came two years after the Constitution was ratified.Uninformed people think the first 10 Amendments were Changes.
They weren't.
They're Rights the Founding Fathers thought were SO IMPORTANT as they needed to be Clearly Spelled Out or ENUMERATED.

Lots of thing aren't mentioned in the Constitution, and also aren't up to the states. We don't have 50 FAAs.Irrelevant.

You're right. There is no constitutional right to privacy and the court just made up that there is. Abortion is never mentioned in the constitution and thus is entirely a state matter.
Unlike the current Congress, they discussed these things LONG before they signed anything. There were people arguing BOTH sides of this very issue for quite some time.They were "additions", after the fact to deal with concerns over the Constitution, which didn't mention such things. That's why they came two years after the Constitution was ratified.
Had the Founders been so concerned, they would have included them in the first place, and didn't.
That's the real story here. A sport that has become dominated by a culture that is synonymous with violent crime makes gun law a legit talking point.who watches a sports program to hear some stupid person who is there to talk sports give his two sense on Politics?
...which is why the need for amending it might come up. Another liberal on the court and we can kiss many rights goodbye.The COTUS does not need to be amended, the genius of the COTUS is it is ambiguous enough to allow justices to decide issues which effect many citizens by the margin of 5-4.
