“It is clear that the founding fathers wanted the second amendment to counter an authoritative govt.”

It isnt clear at all.
And more importantly it isnt effective. Unless you are advocating to arm citizenry with Tanks etc..

Furthermore, The country is 241 years old. which armed uprising do you support? Who gets to decide? Say we decide we dont want to pay taxes. do you support our draweing up arms agaisnt the governemnt? what about those who oppose alleged systmeic racism. Do you support their right to rise up in arms against the government? WACO? bundy Coumpound? the south? Which armed rebbeliion do you beleive the founding fathers would support.
More importantly as mentioned they all failed. Because they arent armed enough to stand up to the Federla govt.
so this idea that we need guns to “counter an authoritative govt. ” falls apart quickly
