except that like if the government ever did get tyrannical(more tyrannical i should say, if ever there was a time for revolution its now, but what ev). your guns would mean jack shit, they would bend you over with a predator missile and shove it right up your ass.

Ok, but the transition from a peaceful government/people relationship to having the government launch predator missiles at the people doesn't happen over night. An armed public means that it will never even get close to that. The other cutesy response I see a lot on here is that guns won't help when they are banned and an Abrams tank shows up at my front doorstep - also a scenario that's not realistic.

I really don't see why the views of people who had no concept of an urban society should be treated as sacrosanct.

What makes you think they had no concept of urban society?
I can't speak for others, but I don't think it's sacrosanct either. If it must be changed it should be done through the proper channels - large majority of Congress + ratification by a large majority of the states - not by executive decrees as VP Biden has threatened.
