Mars or Alderaan?

While we have been discussing the 2nd Amendment here at ATK, the Curisoity rover has been blasting away on Mars with a gun - of sorts - of its own.
As you will see below, Curiosity has been zapping holes into rocks with a laser to examine their make-up. See the before and after below.
So I wonder if the 2nd Amendment applies on Mars. Does the 2nd Amendment apply to laser weapons? If there are Martians there, could Curiosity defend itself?

Jesus Christ. We land on a planet unencumbered by humans, and the first fucking thing we do is bring a gun.
Is this better or worse than playing golf on the moon? Might be a toss-up.
Didn't you ever read any of the John Carter books? There is some scary shit on Mars.
I would argue that the 2nd includes lasers, but that probably isn't a surprise to anyone.
