One argument for not taking guns away, is that "We need them in case the government becomes evil and we need to overthrow it."

Alright, say that's true. And say literally every man, woman, and child is equipped with an AR-15 and unlimited ammo, how exactly are we supposed to over throw one of the worlds largest armed forces? How are the common people, even armed with unlimited ammo supposed to go against drones, powerful bombs, aircraft, tanks, etc. Sure, a small handful of military vehicle are owned by civilians, but those aren't going to last long. The general population is hopeless to stand up against death from the skies; not to mention all the possibilities of bioweapons or simply shutting off the utilities the government controls.

Perhaps in the musket days the general population could overthrow the government via force, but I don't think it's possible in today's world.
