The idea that the second amendment exists to protect us from a tyrannical government has never manifested in reality. What history has demonstrated is that the only time second amendment advocates have shown any willingness to defend their rights is over the question of gun ownership. Slavery? Military conscription? No problem. Regulations in the 19th century? Income taxes in the early 20th? No problem. Farming regulations? Corn quotas? Gold seizures? No problem. Price and wage controls? Wealth redistribution? Healthcare centralization? Tariffs? No problem. TSA? NSA? Free speech zones? Warrantless wiretapping? No problem. If/when gun confiscation happens, I doubt there will be any resistance.
