Possible Armed Revolts Within States?

Strict gun control laws in Colorado forced Magpul, which makes polymer firearms accessories, to move its corporate headquarters to Texas and its manufacturing facility to Wyoming. Both had been based in Erie, Colo. Magpul had contributed more than $85 million annually to Colorado’s economy by employing 200 people and supporting another 400 supply-chain jobs.
This action by the state government forcing Magpul to pull out will be unpopular to many Colorado citizens.
I have previously written on the subject of the Second Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing citizen access to firearms so that they would have some control on a despotic federal government. On second thought, I believe this does not have to be confined only to federal considerations. It seems quite possible that if the citizenry of Colorado is unable to control its government through negotiation and legal action, an armed revolt may be a possibility.
