You have any evidence to the contrary? Are we stopping the border invasion? Did we revolt over Waco, Ruby Ridge? Do we care that millions of radical islamics are coming here?
Do we care that we have a lawless president? We care more that Trump may have talked about grabbing a Megyn than we care about any of that.
So your answer is ‘yes’, an armed populace is worthless unless they are organized into a real Army.
