While it kinda falls in line with the original intent of the Second Amendment, doesn't it strike you as bad idea to essentially legalize armed insurrection based simply on the whim of the individual (or am I reading this wrong)?

While I would agree that some people have the necessary critical thinking skills to recognize when armed insurrection is necessary, what about your Tim McVeighs? He believed that he was fighting to stop what happened at Waco and Ruby Ridge, but in doing so became one of the most infamous domestic terrorists in American history. While you do have problems with the federal government, I know that you'd never condone something like the Murrah Building Bombing (or an equivalent attack with guns).
