They just fought a fricking war against a tyrannical government...they wanted an armed populace to keep the government they just created in check

That's a very strange, threatening way to put it.

I'm pretty sure the founding fathers instituted a representative democracy with checks and balances to keep the government in check, not the constant threat of violence towards the government.

The great thing about our government is that any grievances we have, we get to take out at the ballot box at least every two years.
