I don’t think guns have been used to fight taxes since the Whiskey Rebellion. If paying taxes is your definition of servitude, I won’t disagree with you, but that means Americans have been serfs since 1794.

To your main point, though — your argument seems to be that “government’s implied threat of violence is effective on citizens, therefore citizen’s implied threat of violence is effective on government.” Do I have that right?
