The American deep state NEED their guns though.Look how American Agents, even low-level diplamtic staff - get to walk around with guns in this country, for which even regular Gun Ownership is heavily restricted, let along permitted to be packing in public.
The US set up certain checks and balances during the early days of Nationhood.
Now it’s time to have a good look at all those amendments, and see which ones are appropriate, and which ones not.
An economy based on Guns being freely brought and sold - can only thrive on manufactured warfare otherwise, which would doom America ultimately to the same political fate as Rome, (Military Dictatorship, eventually brought down by corruption from within) the UK to the same political fate as Greece (absorbed into America/Rome), and the EU to the same political fate as Byzantium… It was worst of all for the Byzantines in history, because their empire got crushed by the (Turkish) forces of Islam, not being able to change, and totally disregarding the danger on their own doorstep… The parallels are there to see.Oh how are the mighty fallen!
“History taught us - that we learned nothing from History”.
I don’t get your connections.The 2nd amendment is all about the knowledge that the deep state are armed requiring the balance of an equally armed population to counter it.

The only connection between the US and Rome is the contradictory idea of following the locally unaccountable and therefore ultimately corrupt Federal government system rather than the Confederation of Sovereign States which the founders envisaged.Which ironically is what creates the deep state monster and then either moaning about it when they’ve got what they wished for and/or having to try to liberate themselves from it after.On that note no this is a Federalist ( deep state ) v Secessionist ( Nationalist ) issue in which the Secessionist side probably ironically has more allies in America than here at home. 
But absolutely agree with the analogy of Byzantium’s and the EU’s naivety regarding Islamic expansion.The difference being that the EU example is more like a deliberate invitation to Islam to infiltrate European society for whatever agenda.
