I find the following quote to be pretty self explanatory as well. It is much more recent than the ones from the Founders but embraces the same philosophy:
“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”-- Report of the Subcommittee On The Constitution of the Committee On The Judiciary, United States Senate, 97th Congress, second session (February, 1982), SuDoc# Y4.J 89/2: Ar 5/5
I find it amazing how in less than 30 years the left in this country has tried to completely reverse course on that finding of the U.S. Senate. I also like this supposed quote from Japanese Supreme Military Commander Admiral Yamamoto during WWII, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
As for the assertion that European countries are not tyrannical after gun bans, if you think that paying 70%+ of your wages to the national government, in the form of taxes, isn't tyrannical then you are a fool. As one woman told Oprah, when she and the Obamas tried pitching Chicago to the Olympic Committee, "What stuff? We can't afford stuff." The reason she couldn't was because of the insane taxes she had to pay. If you want to talk about tyranny in the U.K., I think having to have a license to watch television qualifies, as does paying close to $10 a gallon for gas due to taxation. I personally know a couple in the U.K. who had to sell their pub/inn due to not being able to afford the tyrannical taxation over there.
