The parent post pointed out that an armed population could prevent a dictator from taking power.

I'm saying it's also possible that a portion of an armed population could be manipulated by a dictator to seize power.

And there are lots of other ways this ubiquity of guns change things. Some positive, some negative. If we're talking about a theoretical rebellion then we should also talk about different types of rebellions.
