Yes I see the analogy. The founding father did too, that's why we have the ability to elect our noblemen.
If you are paranoid you are in good company.
Edward Abbey wrote that wildlife agencies should be teaching us the ability to live off the land and to use guns, so that the government would have more fear of the people.
Isaac Asimov wrote a short story in which he described the last free thinking person in a totalitarian society, as a pet keeper who owned a small collection of odd animals, including a tortise.
There is also a book written by a former undercover wildlife agent in which he expressed dismay at the rampant over hunting practices(buffalo, carrier pigeons, etc.) of early Americans. Among the reasons he expressed for this was that they had emmigrated from societies which totally banned all hunting. Their response to being able to hunt nothing was that once they got to America, they hunted everything. His point was that hunting should be managed with science, not bans.
