Impeachment is not the ONLY way; I am reliably informed that there's another lawful redress against tyranny in the USA:The only way to end tyranny is impeachment and the party in control would never do that.
In the context of colonial British experience the 2nd Amendment was intended to have an armed population as a hedge against an abusive government,
Amendment II. This amendment was specifically designed to protect the First Amendment giving the people the ability to resist tyrannical government as the Founders had, even by revolution if required.
The private militia was intended to be a check on the government's standing army so as to prevent a military coup or as a remedy in case the government became oppressive.
The 2nd Amendment has NOTHING to do with protection from robbery. It was put in place to protect the citizens against their own government.
