The police can't stop an army. The army can't stop an army. The United States Citizens would be the largest army assembled in modern time. Heck, in all time.

Who's gonna assemble the entire population into an 'army' capable of standing up to the actual army currently in place??

You're greatly overestimating what the average Joe will do once the shit goes down.

Indeed. So in reality, we'll have much less than 300 million obviously. But even 10 million is more than enough. Guerrilla warfare with just 5 million is mind boggling, so yeah.

I think you're underestimating the morality of individuals in the military. Given the right initial conditions, I think a significant portion of them would desert or turn their guns around. Even the most discliplined soldiers will question why they're going door to door in American neighborhoods to hunt down American citizens.
