Also, this concept of a well-regulated militia is alive and well in the US. It's called the National Guard. If an American wants to protect themselves from the threat of a tyrannical government they don't need to buy guns, a six-pack and their fishing buddies. All they need to do is join the National Guard.

I appreciate your post, you've addressed many of the arguments very succinctly. The only issue I would take is with the above quoted paragraph. The National Guard takes their orders from the Feds these days, so they would likely be on the side of the "tyrannical government" in that scenario.
Unless there was a coup, of course.
