Yeah... but our country IS our Constitution. Our Constitution allows for the owning of guns. Therefor if our government outlaws something specifically mensioned by the constitution the government loses its base of power.
Just like a General is in command of his given division. If he marches his army into a foreign country without orders he has violated his terms of governance thus his command gets taken away.
The same would happen if the government tries to outlaw guns, they would have no base of power because they specifically violated the piece of paper that gave the government power.
On a side note, the armed forces pledge to support, protect, and defend the Constitution, not the president, not congress... but the constitution. They would not turn on civilians but would simply not follow orders given to a now powerless leader.
