I have little doubt that an American insurgency would defeat a government/military totalitarian takeover. They wouldn't want to kill civilians indiscriminately, so their main weapons are useless. They would still have superior firepower in the form of assault rifles, but we'd have the numbers.

I don't see any of that actually happening, but the argument that our guns would be useless in such an event is not useful in a gun control debate.
