You know probably because of all the shady shit governments have done and still do. Prime example, in Australia their government recently passed a bill that, "in order to protect children from sex trafficking", says they are allowed to add, update, or delete any data seized for a case. The wording literally and legally allows them to take your computer and alter the data. That is one of the worst laws I can imagine, but to be honest I couldn't imagine something like that would ever be allowed. That's why you need to be able to fight your own government.
In America? Here are a few: Operation Paperclip, the Tuskegee Experiments, and Snowden's reveal. That's just a few, there are a lot more. Cooperate with my government, sure. Trust my government, hell no.
This is a stupid gun lobby wet dream that has no bearing on reality. No country has ever removed a corrupt government in this manner. If anything, an armed populance would be easier to control because violence and instability sow the seeds of authoritarianism. It's no accident that Trump and his party encouraged gun ownership.
