Nope.
What you are describing is the reason nation-states formed out of the chaotic local self-defense forces of the Middle Ages.
When gunpowder came in, with artillery, the King could not only knock down any noble’s castle, the nobles could not muster sufficient resources to maintain their own effective artillery trains. Even a large coalition of nobles could no longer stand up to the King.
In an utterly decentralized (but heavily armed) US, what is to prevent the constant low-grade, frequently flaring into high-test, warfare of the Middle Ages before true nation-states formed?
Who decides who owns mineral rights? Who allocates water for irrigation where needed? What is to prevent me from building a dam and flooding your land?
It is always easier, or looks that way, to take stuff away from other people than to produce your own stuff.
Anywho, a US that is heavily armed with rifles and possibly other man-portable weapons would be no match for a modern army with armor, etc. Just as the nobles were no match for the King with his artillery.
You don’t have a profile page so I hope you don’t mind if I ask you some personal questions. Have you ever served in the military, seen any combat up close and personal, rank or rating, your approx age?
So, let's set up a centralized government to run around doing all the things a King used to do.

Back to Jefferson, your Rights end where mine begin. If you own property, you own the minerals under it. If you have mutual interest in a shared property, like water, you can't do anything that would harm your downstream neighbors property. If you want more water for your region, contract with someone else to buy. The market would be open and contracts competed for best price point/value for service rather than mandated via bureaucrat. Same for flooding. Your direct act harms my property.

You do know that some of us Civvies own private tanks and cannons right? That in a much more "anarchic" society, there's nothing stopping you from equipping your Cessna 152 with a pair of wing mounted M-2's or your G3 with Sidewinders... Same for your boat, truck, etc...
