musings of the government and the 2nd amendment

"...This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it..."
-- US President Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861

Interesting words from a very controversial President, and i can see both sides of the argument on the guns rights group as i read them. On one side , we have the pragmatists ,whom think we must use the legislature , courts and win over public opinion to the side that we hold close , on the other , those of us , that have looked at all the legislation of the past 70 odd yrs and seen a slow whittling away of the 2ND amendment, and have declared not one more inch.
The battle over the 2ND Amendment has been going on for longer than i have been alive , with a good deal of what i feel are unconstitutional restrictions happening within my lifetime. Granted , those that want to keep their firearms have had to give up some in order to keep them , and some progress has been made in correcting SOME of what i feel is unconstitutional restrictions on citizens , through judicial and legislative venues, we still have a long way to go before we get back to exactly what the founders meant when they penned the 2ND.

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.
The above text , the 2ND amendment is simple and plain English, there is no hiding , that the right is given to the people to keep and bear arms when necessary , the militia clause as those that would like to do away with this right , or make it so that only certain people have this particular right, be attached to the military. If that was so then they will have to expand it to all LEO duties as well as those that would come to ones aide, because the militia , was the people , ordinary citizens.
Now to the two groups , the pragmatists and those , that wont be pushed anymore,Threepercenters, i think both have their places , and neither side is going to change anything without the other, and i do believe we , as gun owners have to try and win with legislation and the judicial process, that's what Lincoln meant by trying to change things within the system, that is our right.I am then brought to thinking , where do i draw my line , when is enough enough?
I think that, is entirely a personal decision , that only you as an individual can make , some it may be when all else fails and the system has failed to hear you , some it will be when door to door searches are made to confiscate guns that have been made illegal , some it may be when they are targeted for voicing, their displeasure , or their beliefs, and that is what i think Lincoln meant by their right to overthrow it.
This country , has a long history of using the democratic process,and as with all processes it can become corrupt , i state that the 2ND Amendment is there just for that reason , so that it cannot become corrupt , that the people have the means , if they have the will to stand and defeat that corruption, the government derives its power to govern from the consent of the people , all the people , not just the majority, and the government is the servant , not the master, maybe its time we remind the government , and all the parties of that.
And with that said , i ask you , where do you draw your line?
