In my opinion, the whole reason we have the Second Amendment is that sometimes the King's Men need killing, and the people need to have the ability to do so. ~If~ [BIG if] he had a valid reason for killing, -- he killed the wrong men. The city officials forcing the issue were his enemies, not the workingmen.

But isn't that the same as saying, the armed invaders aren't my enemy, the king is?

They are the ones carrying out the edict of the king and they are the ones violating the rights of the property owner.

And no, I don't think he should have shot them.
