The only problem with that is you’ll be fighting the US military. What do you do when Obama’s forces nuke Arizona into a cinder, say - just to make an example?

When it comes to raw military might, an uprising has nothing - if the uprising isn’t actually the US military. Do you see that happening, and is there any legal provision for that?

“Do you see that happening, and is there any legal provision for that?”

Apart from the guiding principle that I read in the Declaration of Independence, no regime has ever provided a legal provision for its own overthrow. I know that it is unlawful to advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government, but what should we do when the government itself goes against founding principles and ignores or overthrows the Constitution, a document that our leaders themselves are sworn to uphold? What should we call a restoration of our Constitutional form of government?

Would the military stage a coup here against a tyrannical government? I don’t know, but that has happened in other countries. Those soldiers should have been raised by mothers that infused them with the spirit of liberty.
