The welfare of our country and our fellow Americans is precisely what we are concerned about, Frank.

This is what defines us as U.S. Americans:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
(Ref; Excerpt from the 'Declaration of Independence")

Thoughts on changing government (right to revolution):
In political philosophy, the right to revolution (or "right of rebellion") is a right variously stated throughout history. Confucian philosopher Mencius' teachings have often been suppressed over the millennia for saying that anytime a ruler did not provide for the needs of the people, they had the right to overthrow him. It is likely that many individuals partaking in revolutionary activity in the course of history have independently believed their actions justified along these lines. In western European history the Monarchomachs articulated the right to revolt in the context of the French Wars of Religion, by Huguenots thinkers who legitimated tyrannicides. It was then taken up by John Locke in Two Treatises of Government as part of his social contract theory. Locke declared that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and estate; he wrote that under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens and replace the government with another government in the interests of the citizens. In some cases, Locke deemed revolution an obligation. The right of revolution thus essentially acted as a safeguard against tyranny. This is a concept similar to the right of rebellion exercised by Polish szlachta.

The ability to change government as guaranteed by the second amendment (bill of rights):
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

In my personal opinion Gun control is:

A governmental strategy to remove the ability of the people to implement new government.

Joel 3:9-10 (New International Version)

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
"I am strong!"
