This is the key: "An armed populace is threatening to a repressive government." Gun control is not about crime or protecting the innocent - it is about establishing tyranny. That's what the 2nd is all about and always has been about - not duck hunting, not "sporting use", not target shooting or competition. It is all about keeping the ambitious politician at bay, or at least scared. An armed society is a free society.

An armed society is a free society. Amen
I would add that an armed society is a polite society. The act of a man tipping his hat was to show that he was not going for his gun.
