Do you, as a constitutionalist, take that to mean that murder is okay since it's not specifically referred to in any of the aforementioned documents?

If I may,
Murder is the ultimate infringement of individual rights.

There's nothing wrong with that piece of paper as it stands today.
Particularly the BILL of RIGHTS, and the 14th amendments. Yes added later.
No descriptors are used, No special interests implied.
Universal words for the STATE to live by.
The problem is apparently people either don't know how to read it, or comprehend those words.
The piece of paper isn't broken,
The state, and the PEOPLE are.

No, you just said the COTUS doesn't explicitly ban murder.
A law that is made needs to be within the framework set by the COTUS, so which part argues that we have the right to murder each other?

The basic question is, can this sacred document be wrong in any form and why not?
I don't like the arm's bit though as some people really should not have gun's let alone knive's.

And then I said a bunch of other stuff about how the documents I mentioned spell out what the states are supposed to do and what they have a right to do. The 10th amendment lays out that the states, and the people, retain whatever powers that were not delegated to the federal government, or that the constitution prohibited them from having.
Ergo, states had the power and authority to pass laws criminalizing murder.
Not whatever bullsnip you're trying to claim I said.
