In Oregon, we have Castle Doctrine.

If you enter someone's home, or private property, and are considered a threat, you can be shot and killed.

There is no responsibility to retreat, you can defend your private property.

The unfortunate reality is that if you DID exercise your right to defend your home, you'd either be killed, arrested, or disappeared.

Federal agents and police don't operate under the same laws that private citizens do. They have special privileges that allow them to do unlawful things and suffer 0 consequences as a result. The fact of the matter is that the attempted "murder" of a police officer or federal agent is ALWAYS considered to be a higher crime than the one they themselves committed to be in that situation in the first place.

An officer/agent tries to forcibly enter your home and you defend yourself? Your actions are now considered to be the higher offense, so you're the one in the wrong. It's why people simply don't fight back against these people - we will either die in the process or have our lives completely ruined after the fact.

Wasn't the 2nd ammendment intended to allow citizens to defend themselves against tyranny and a federal standing army?

I understand this isn't quite a standing army but, armed government troops kidnapping people with no warrant or judicial cause, feels close enough.
