A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There is the text and I am having a hard time seeing "overthrow the government" in those words. I know about some of the associated writings of the Founders such as "the tree of liberty requires blood", etc. but I don't see this Amendment as the source for government overthrow. It is, however, definitely not about hunting and that is the crux of the Zumbo matter.

You don't have to see "overthrow the government" in the second amendment.
As long as you can see "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
The rest will take care of itself!
Bozos like Booth, Oswald, Hinckley, and others figured it out. You use the arms to attack the human leadership element of the government. Shooting at the monuments accomplishes little. It's perfectly fine if you don't understand how having the right to bear arms protects you from tyranny. It only takes a few people to figure it out for it to be effective. Do the math with me. One president and a hand full of department heads plus nine supreme court justices plus 100 senators plus 435 representatives is still far less than 300 million potentially disgruntled citizens with the right to be packing heat.
Have you ever wondered why disarming the general public is ALWAYS a priority of tyrants? Think about it! Eventually it will come to you. If you still don't get how the second amendment enables us to "overthrow the government" I think I can break it down even more simply, but spare me the work and just think....politicians run government....politicians ain't bulletproof....guns can fire bullets....guns are often referred to as arms....lots of armed people are often referred to as an army....If the peoples army can kill the leading politicians then the governments army usually switches sides and joins the people to form one big happy winning team....and thus begins the battle to see who will be the new boss. In french it is called "coup d'etat" some people call it revolution but, regardless of what you call it, it helps to have arms to get the job done.

Is the intent of the 2nd to secure a free state from outsiders or from insiders? I really don't know, but always thought it was the latter.

Actually, it's more like "overthrow those who would subvert legitimate government". And that is definitely part of maintaining the security of a free state.
