I just think citizen pressure through non-violent protest and civil disobedience is much more effective (and less bloody) tool in changing government policy.

Yeah, it works really well in Cuba. If someone were to successfully seize a dictatorial control of the government, civil disobedience is meaningless. Civil disobedience means you're dead, and no one can vote the person out of power.
Anyway, there are plenty of 2nd amendment related threads to discuss this, as has been pointed out. If you'd like to discuss it further we can resurrect one of those.
