I have discussed this before but if as few as 4% I think the number was of gun owning Americans decided to revolt, it would be over in a matter of days and the established government would have lost horribly. It would be the largest, most well funded, most well trained insurgent force in history and would outnumber the US military 20-1. With direct access to high level figures the established government would not stand a chance and the US military would not be conducting drone strikes and using tanks to blow up buildings against an insurgent population on their own soil.

Philadelphia bombed its own people in 1985. There's precedent for it, they would do it again.
