Don't the 9th & 10th Amendments apply exclusively to matters not addressed in the Constitution, so a freedom, say, mentioned in the 2nd Amendment, would not be affected by the 9th & 10th?

Much of Barron has been overturned on a case-by-case basis, beginning with Chicago, Quincy & Burlington RR Co. v. Chicago (incorporation of 5th Amendment just compensation clause).
