Yes they do, but only if they aren't representing america as they should, or if they are corrupt. This is stated in the bill of rights, literally next to where it says we can all own guns to fight back against a corrupt government. If you were to do this, get alot of followers, like half of america
US citizens have the authority to vote in elections, and to respect the outcome of the election, which makes violent revolution unnecessary. And if you feel that a violent revolution would be fun, check out the fun currently taking place in Syria (in 2013). Actually, the US death toll could be tremendously higher. The US is much more heavily armed than Syria (or than anybody).
I should add that nowhere in the Bill of Rights does it say that we can all own guns to fight back against a corrupt government. It says that we can all own guns in order to participate in a well regulated militia. The purpose of a well regulated militia is to defend the country from foreign enemies, not to overthrow the government.
