There are millions of people over thousands of years of history who ridded themselves of tyrants without a second amendment(present country included). Maybe it's about time people learned to clean out their own house because this Marine like many is tired of leaving blood, limb and life on somebody else's yard just to be spit on later by ingrates.

How many of those people over thousands of years possessed the technology to take out a crowd of hundreds with a single soldier on foot?

Actually there was an equivalent to the second amendment, a weaker version to be sure, in the English "Bill of Rights".

That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence, suitable to their conditions, and as allowed by law".
Enacted in 1658 and still in force as of 1775.

It was because the King was denying the American colonists this and other "rights of Englishmen", that the Revolution occurred.
