Yes, it does fit. The whole point of the 2nd Amendment was to make sure the citizenry had the tools necessary to overthrow the government if and when necessary. The Founding Fathers knew all too well about the corrupting influence of power and authority and wanted to make sure that American citizens had the means to effectively fight back.
