The government would stand exactly a 0% chance of defeating an insurgency in this country and it's got nothing to do with the what type of weapons one side or the other are carrying. Even if 100% of the military obeys the order, which is likely, the government still stands no shot.

This is correct, and it isn’t for reasons that people think.

An insurgency is asymmetrical warfare and usually a battle of attrition. What happens when an Abrams tank gets blowed up in Iraq?

Government makes another, using extremely intricate supply lines and manufacturing spread across the whole North American continent.

What happens if there is an insurgency blowing up train tracks, port facilities, factories, etc in the USA?

No more Abrams. Nothing to replace it with, and oh by the way, the US military only has a few divisions of them. They break just sitting in place.

Ditto for every other over-engineered, over-priced, overly complex manufacturing process, etc for every weapon system the US has.
