Liberals that argue that the NSA programs violate our 4th Amendment rights are guilty of the same modernized interpretation of the Constitution as those they criticize for using the 2nd Amendment to justify handgun possession of using. CMV

The title of the topic explains it for the most part. Let me add a caveat: I am fully aware that not all liberals are against the NSA program, nor that those who are also criticize 2nd Amendment activists using this justification. However, my experience in political science and pre-law has lead me to believe that there is much overlap between these groups.

My view is that people who make both of these arguments simultaneously are guilty of cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy, whether intentional or not. It does not seem consistent to me to argue that those who believe the 2nd Amendment should allow handguns are using a "modernized" interpretation of the Constitution when the original intent was to guarantee access to flintlock rifles and powder muskets, while simultaneously arguing that the 4th Amendment should guarantee privacy with regard to email, Facebook, message boards and cell phone calls. 

I have not encountered an intellectually satisfying rebuttal to this view, and I am looking to expand my knowledge on the subject. Please CMV. 

**EDIT:** I'm glad to see this sparked some interesting discussion. I wasn't as clear as I could have been, but then, people discussing constitutional interpretations rarely are. I had my view changed based on the following reason: I was interpreting the 4th amendment to essentially be a laundry list of specific things that are protected against search and seizure. I was not interpreting it as a broad guarantee of **privacy**, which several SCOTUS decisions have indicated, such as *Katz v. United States*. A person who argued that the original-intent of the 4th amendment was a broad concept of privacy could hold original-intent views of both the 2nd and 4th without being intellectually inconsistent.

I think the key difference here is that they want to dispose of the second amendment amendment through court systems and voting (which  has been done in the past) whereas the government violated our fourth amendment rights without our consent and knowledge.
