The problem with that interpretation is that it would imply that you should do this for the rest of the Constitution, meaning that, for instance, methods of communication not known in the days of the Founders (like this one) are not covered by the First Amendment.
Insofar as guns being free, they weren't in the Founders' day, and the Constitution says "keep and bear" not "obtain", so no. Although it would probably apply if, for instance, someone tried to enact a tax that made all firearms prohibitively expensive.
