A few days ago, I had an interesting conversation with my brother (pro gun dude) who said the general U.S. public would never stand a chance against the military and or police when they come knocking on your door. He thinks because they have fully auto firearms and larger stuff, we would not be able to fight.
I reminded him there are over 300 million guns in this country and if the police are tasked with the duty, there aren't enough people to complete the job.
As for the military, the Posse Comitatus Law (late 1800s) prevents the military from being used to enforce U.S. laws. I'm not sure how this applies to the Air and Army National Guard because they have a dual role of state and federal.
Then I reminded him many of the police and military own guns. I don't think the military and police have the wherewithal to fire upon their fellow Americans.
