So you have the second amendment but do nothing with it? Maybe stop abrogating responsibility and take matters into your to your own hands instead of just complaining about it?
If peaceful resistance is powerless/illegal then violent resistance is morally permissible, so what’s stopping you?
First, that was mostly a conservative fantasy. They pretended to be waiting for a corrupt government because they were big and manly. Most of the “left” (I mean, you know, left of Republicans) wanted gun control ranging from sensible roadblocks to an outright ban.
Second, no matter whose fantasy it was, it was going to be a fantasy once modern war machines were invented. Let’s say I go get a semi automatic rifle. Convert it to automatic. Build IEDs and homemade grenades. But the second drones start dropping bombs on my house I’m fucked, as are my family, probably my neighbors, my friends, and anyone in close contact.
I’m not saying this to be defeatist. I’m not saying this to try to prove you wrong. This is what it was for. But this ain’t gonna get the job done with the modern state of technology and the people in charge being walled away from the general population. I don’t know exactly what the answer is but I’m open to suggestions.

Your comment was reported for “threatening violence”
I disagree. You’re encouraging action in accordance with the Constitution
A couple of things.
