It is a violation of US code to advocate or take part in, in any way, the violent overthrow of the US government. But, the armed removal from office of a known and proven usurper or armed action to prevent gross and destructive violations of the Constitution can not be defined as the overthrowing of the government. It is, instead, the right of the people to replace the government officials with those who will obey and defend the Constitution.
No matter how they have twisted the second ammendment, according to Thomas Jefferson, among others, the right to bear arms is a constitutional promise that insured the people's God given right to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
For the People to rise up in arms to remove a tyrant, a dictator, or a usurper, with the purpose of restoring the Constitution as the law is not "overthrowing" the government.
