Combat would be man on man. You also have to think about the people that run critical infrastructure in this country and how they could be involved with the rebellion. Internal sabotage would be easy and prevailant.

So, no, the 2nd Amendment hasnt lost its bite. But I do wish we still lived in a time when we could order a full auto Thompson from the Sears catalogue and have it shipped to our door.
A lot of what you're saying is predicated on not "seeing" the US Navy shelling Miami, etc. In other words, if the government does decide to do those things, a rag-tag group with small arms has no chance.
