Everyone doesn't need guns in order to raid an armory. Hell, if it turns to that point, some armories will likely be given over. Also, if it gets to that point, foreign aid will provide weapons and munitions.
I agree with some responsible gun ownership, but the 2A does not say what people usually think it says. (We have a professional standing army, so a militia isn't required for the protection of the state, and a well regulated militia is not home gun ownership and storage.) It also wouldn't be enough alone to fight our military. Most insurgencies don't start incredibly well armed. You get to that point over time with good strategy.
