"besides yelling "2nd amendment!", which is a right, not an obligation, and can be withdrawn if the people agree"
Because "the people" have been so good at agreeing on ANYTHING for the past 30 years. Besides, I would think that, in reality, a malicious Government would be after much juicier rights. That First Amendment has got to be a big thorn in the side - look at how many times the Government has been smacked by it over the centuries. Same goes for the Fourth Amendment - definitely a stumbling block for any Government that realizes how much better it is at everything than the populace it governs.
So yeah, taking away the pea-shooters might make hay with some groups, but wouldn't really do much to advance the government's absolute authority over the lives of its subjects.
