Not sure what most of those examples have to do with the original quotes, but (pardon the expression) fire away. Drug laws? Well, yeah, there probably have been situations when the DEA came in on a coke bust, and was greeted with a few shots fired.
Nevertheless, those quotes express the intentions for the 2nd Amendment.

The point I was making his the the US has never been free of tyranny, it has always been a country where the white majority has ruled tyranically over others, guns did nothing to stop that, and a Hitler like goverment that arrests and interns millions is probably more likely in the US than any other western country, of course the interned will be latinos or blacks and most white americans will continue to go on about how their country is a shining beacon of freedom just as they did while owning slaves or stopping black people from voting.
Guns not only have not nor will ever stop tyranny, but in the US are a part of the reason people don't recognise tyranny, guns have been a sop to keep americans thinking they are free while the goverment does what ever it wants, up to and including killing US citizans without trial.
