The only way to overthrow America with sheer military might is basically to divide the people who actually care about the country (check), import a large enough military force that isn't loyal to the locals or the Constitution (work in progress), then get law abiding citizens to willingly forfeit their right to defend themselves (also a work in progress). America ain't perfect, nowhere near, but we've got a good thing going and I surely hope that what little Constitutionality we have remaining can hold out for a few more generations before some power external or internal provides the push that tears the country apart for good.

The American experiment was founded on the principal of reacting violently to a sudden change in governmental policy -- the Brits raised taxes on the colonies after an expensive war when heretofore they had been left alone. A serious change in governmental policy WRT 2nd amendment rights would be an excellent way to see the country go, up in flames. If a theoretical foreign power wanted to weaken the USA for a potential ground war -- something laughable throughout most of the nation's history -- why not stir up a civil war by, say, turning the armed populous against their local and federal authorities? Of course, nuclear mutually assured destruction and all that makes a ground invasion on the US unlikely, but it's a fun thought experiment about the motivations of the people who are trying to legislate a cultural problem away (that is, willingness and desire to slaughter fellow Americans). America was founded on -- depending on the perspective -- a justified reaction to tyranny (taxation without representation?), or a bratty overreaction to something very logical (colonies need to pay up for their military protection). IMO attempts at gun confiscation in the USA any time soon would probably lead to riots or civil war.
