That sounds a bit odd. If you're standing up to the government, why would the laws matter to you. Or is it a bit like "Here's a gun, if we ever go too bad, shoot us". Which in turn raises the question why has no-one massacred Wall Street yet.
The framer's intent, as far as I know, was to make it such that the populace would be well-armed before it gets to that point. You are correct that laws would mean little to someone standing up to the government, but availability of firearms would mean a great deal at that point.
Wall Street are, ostensibly, private citizens doing their private jobs, not elected officials who are supposed to be acting in the public's best interest.
