The military wouldnt fight the citizens, and i doubt any general would follow orders to attack americans. Instead youd find that the pressure would be put to end it asap, without bloodshed. Remember the government are PC, and know that the rest of the world will be watching.
The military needs our infrastructure more than we do. If the highways, power grid, water sources go quickly youd have a mass riot of people not fighting who would create a nice distraction for the uprising.

Read up in the National Defense Authorization Act. It allows the military to be deployed against US civilians. There was a lawsuit against Obama for it, and the case was thrown out before being heard.

You don't know that homeland security is comprised of non Americans and that they ordered millions of hollow point bullets back in the 2000's. Our that Obama just resigned indefinite detention into law? They're prepared for war or chaos. I'm sitting here watching while people are migrating into factions. Blm, nationalists, la raza, left, right.. We're being set up.

Id say blm, laraza, left wing would be fucked against gun owning republicans.
The government is the biggest buyer and seller or weapons worldwide. It doesnt surprise me they order bullets in bulk, most government agencies require their officers to be trained shooters. That said, 9mm and 40 arent something to start a war with
