-- What other rights should the gov be able to strip from you? The 4th, the 5th? --

It depends who you are, and exactly what it is that you prpose to undertake.

Obviously, the government hasn't exceeded its power. It it had, the people would put up at least passive resistance, and there is none of that.

No it doesn't; the preamble to the Bill of Rights says clearly what the purpose of the Bill of Rights is:

THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

The whole purpose is to restrain the government; if we were to let the government ignore those restrictions at it pleases then there is nothing to stop the government from enacting tyranny. — IOW, what you are conditionally agreeing to is the polar opposite of the intent of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
