The Second Amendment does not Protect Against Oppressive Government

Sorry about that, I thought I had submitted. You still haven't given any sort of scenario in which the Second Amendment would protect against an oppressive government, or any possible application of the Second Amendment to protect against oppressive government. You only say that it was included in a document that was designed to protect against an oppressive government, which I agree with. The argument is not about the Bill of Rights; it is about the Second Amendment. Also, you naively assume that the United States had any more representation of the people than the Thirteen Colonies had. In both cases, it was the landowning class that wanted to expand westwards, to acquire larger holdings. The only difference was where those landowners were based. Under Britain, they lived in Oxfordshire and Somerset, while under the USA, they lived in the country itself. Proximity had nothing to do with intention, and up to this day, very few governmental decisions are made directly by and for the people. Also, abolitionism could hardly be described as a strong force in the early period of the USA. The cotton industry was ever-expanding, and the constitution protected the trade; and actually, the British, with all their repression, actually promised slaves that fought for them freedom in the event of victory. For fifty of the seventy-two years between George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's respective ascensions, a slaveholder had been president. As an institution, it was very well entrenched into society, and were it not for transatlantic influence and popular movements, it would have remained as such. Very few people wanted to avoid expansion west, as they viewed it as their holy destiny to expand. Slavery was not an issue in western expansion, as the territories they were expanding into, such as Colorado, Utah, Dakota, Idaho, etc. were unsuitable and impractical for slavery to take place, as the industries that slaves normally took part in, i. e. the growing of cash crops such as sugar, tobacco and cotton, were not present there, and effective slavery among migrant workers from China or Eastern Europe sufficed in the industries that were present, and the Republican Party did not enter office until Lincoln, long after expansion had started. I was using examples of other countries and situations to show that either the ideas associated with the Second Amendment have either not promoted the freedom and rights of citizens, or perpetuated a revolution or insurrection against a tyrannical government in other countries, sometimes having the opposite effect of strengthening the establishment; or revolutions and insurrections have succeeded without a population hoarding weapons or forming militia groups. There are several historical examples of these in other countries, and therefore since they did not work in the other countries, we must assume that they would not work in America, since that is all we can do. America is just another country, it is afforded no holy protection from societal ills, and the principles can found in countries with similar relative power, such as late 18th century France, early 20th century Russia, post-WWII China and the mid 19th century British Empire. It is foolish to assume that America is exempt from societal laws and rules, and the principles that could be applied to other superpowers could just as easily be applied to the USA. In conclusion, not only would the Second Amendment's provisions be insufficient for eradicating an oppressive government, it also contributes to tyranny by either giving the illusion that action could be taken in the event of an oppressive government,, and since no action is being taken, the government is not oppressive, thus taking advantage of man's sedentary and conformist nature; or by providing the establishment and its supporters with the equipment and organisational structures needed to suppress moves against the oppressive government, as shown by the Garde Nationale, the Force Publique and the Colorado Territory Militia.
