When the 2nd Amendment was passed we had no standing army. It was meant as a way to prepare us to defend a foreign invasion, not to overthrow our Democratically elected government.

-A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed.-
