Lets say for example, a prosecutor throws the book at my 80 year old mother for J walking and prosecutes to the full extent of the law causing her to be jailed and die in jail in a week. Can this prosecutor be viewed as a tyrant under President Jefferson, Washington & first Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton's statements. Basically when they said the 2nd Ammendment is also to protect us from a tyrannical government, let the government know that the people will take arms against tyrant's when all other recourse fails. Question: Is this prosecutor a tyrant?

I might have asked this in the wrong section, too late now, but after all who knows more about the 2nd Ammendment than hunters?
Let me expand this question. Does anyone here actually believe that an individual or even a large group can actually fight the government? No way, impossible, it's not going to happen and should not happen because overall the government is good. Although there are tyrants in the government that can and sometimes do make your life a living hell and result in the death of a loved one. The only way we are going to fight a tyrannical government is one tyrant at a time, we cannot fight the whole government.
Isn't this what Thomas Jefferson meant when he said "Let the government know that the people will take up arms". Basically, do not be a tyrant, or else, and tyrants need to be eliminated for the greater good.
Definition of tyrant= A ruler who exercises power in a harsh, cruel manner.
