The second amendment is pretty clear on militias being regulated. Well regulated militia's are organized at the state or federal level, not by a band of patriotic Americans wanting to rebel against their government. That would be an armed insurrection. The Militia Clause is pretty specific on the powers of Congress over the militias. Article II Section 2.1 of the constitution gives power to the president to be commander in chief of the militias. It's a tough argument to make that the reason the 2nd amendment is there was to prevent tyranny of it's own government, while completely ignoring the laws which regulate the militias.
