You're wrong on your first premise and correct on your second. If you had read my post in it's entirety, you would have seen that I agree.

The 2nd amendment was not about making sure that people could just overthrow the government when they weren't getting their way.

The 2nd amendment was about making sure that the government couldn't overthrow the bounds of the Constitution.

While there is still Constitutional recourse to political change, any rebellion that takes place is a rebellion against the Constitution. We are still well within that level of governmental malfeasance.
