We have 300,000,000 Americans. Lets just say 150,000,000 adults. 32-34% of adults own a gun. Lets call it 33%. That's 49,500,000 adults that own guns. of that 49,000,000 lets just say its 40 million patriots. The us military is 1.4 million strong. Of that 1.4 million a solid 70% would not follow orders to use forces on their own citizens. So, you would have 40,000,000 vrs. 9,920,000(420,000 from the military)

Let’s say it’s not even that lopsided numbers wise. How do fighter jets break the balance of power in such a domestic situation? It’s nonsensical if you ponder it for even just a second.

An even easier way to look at it might be this:
In most areas of the country, there are ~3 law enforcement people out of every 1000 people. If 1% of the population decides the government must go, that's 10 out of 1000, or 3x as many law enforcement.
Bottom line is that if just 1% of the population decides that it's go-time, the government is done in pretty much every location in the nation, except DC, where security will be massively concentrated. But they can't run the country if they only hold DC.
The problem is that everything will be disrupted. Internet, fuel, food, medicine - everything will be jacked up. There will be anarchy as people scramble to survive. We will all suffer greatly. We should really, really, try to make sure things don't go that route.
