The question (as I read it) is "does human life have more value than the freedoms afforded to us by constitutional decree?" I'm personally struggling to find an answer either way, but I'd at least disagree that we can't weigh the text of a constitution against modern research.
That said, there's certainly another conversation over whether we should consider how valuable human life is compared to the conveniences modern tools like firearms and private vehicles give us. Or I guess we've already collectively decided that the answer is no.

It isn't either or. For a lot of people, that "freedom afforded to us by constitutional degree" is what allows to protect the value of their own human life in the case of an immediate danger, as well as that of people close to them.
