Nope. It was intended to facilitate national defense as an alternative to a standing army (which the founders were against having on principle), not defense AGAINST the government.

Stop skipping over the part where it says "being necessary to the security of a free State". If the government infringes on our freedoms, like it currently is, the second amendment absolutely applies. It's a deterrent to threats both foreign and domestic.

Nope. That's a false dichotomy. It's simply not true that firing handguns at the grotesque might of the US government is the only alternative to doing literally nothing.

Yet again, you're wrong. You can't just vote out the corruption. As seen in how many decades, where the corruption has become more and more rampant, and unchecked?

You should maybe learn about the civil war and the American revolution, where we literally fought and killed for the betterment of our country.
