So “a little rebellion” based on guns is a laughably ineffective tool in today’s society.

This is bullshit, and we have a live test case in Afghanistan. A bunch of goat herders who wipe their asses with rocks are going to end up beating the full power of the US military with nothing more than Kalashnikovs and IEDs.

I agree with your overall point regarding crypto, but that point is much better made via a Fourth Amendment analysis than a Second Amendment one.
