A well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state.  We want a secure free state.  That’s why we have a well-regulated militia and a well-armed citizenry.

>…The well-armed citizenry might decide that the police chief, governor and president all need to go. The police chief, governor and president might disagree, and call the well-armed citizenry terrorists and thugs (and even, using the term incorrectly, anarchists). What happens then?

The police chief is removed by putting political pressure on the mayor.  The governor and the president have an election every four years and are term limited.  They are removed by donating to their competitor.  The holders of these offices are free to call the American people names if they wish (a recent unsuccessful POTUS candidate called Americans deplorables (this ended her political career)) but it would likely lead to their failure to win their next term.
