My initial thoughts are that the framers of the Constitution wanted the people to have the ability to overthrow the government if the government no longer served the people.

I believe exactly the opposite.
Arming the people was intended to prevent the overthrow of our government.

History provides numerous examples of how first disarming the general population led to overthrowing a government.

The most heavily armed country in Europe is the only one that has not been conquered since Julius Caesar. It is Switzerland, where every able bodied man is still trained with and required to keep a rifle and ammo at home.
