No. It's inane to create conditions under which "mere ability" is so powerful and accessible, then rely on hope and faith that there are no bad actors with "intent" to "do something [evil]". It's not as if we haven't been there before.

OTOH, it's perfectly reasonable to be concerned about the capabilities that we give our government. That is exactly what distinguishes various forms of government and exactly why we have a Constitution that defines ours as it does.
