>The second amendment literally defines a free state by its capacity for armed revolt
Aren't you confusing the text[1] with what one person, namely Thomas Jefferson, said about it?

If I am, then so are the Supreme Court, the NRA, militia groups, the Republican Party and much of the country. At some point one has to admit that the purpose of a system is what it does and the American system does violence very well.
