Correct. In a Militia vs Government-paramilitary-agency-group (BLM) shoot-out, it would be a slaughter in a straight up fight. Even the muzzies have found out how deadly the US military technology (and whoever controls them) can be. The only way something like an uprising would stand a chance would be for the Constitution-loving military to cross the lines and bring the same technology in order to support the uprising. Otherwise the technology alone, from crowd control to outright slaughter, is on the government side.
If anyone has seen Captain America: the Winter Soldier, they can see the similarities. All it takes is lethal technology on auto-pilot and the people on the ground are screwed...

Life ain't like the movies.
Logistics is the key. See Viet Nam, Afghanistan, and other asymmetrical wars.

Sad, but true......”terror” is an effective tool of any insurgency. In any conflict with an armed bureaucracy, the gentlemen’s rules of conflict are not valid. Just as “they” have no problem going for soft targets to get to what they want, so too must the insurgent have no moral issues with going after their opponent’s most cherished and sanctified treasures. The apparatchiks giving the orders might think twice if he or she knew that their own families were considered very valuable targets.

Eh, except in Iraq they go back to a base. These government “workers” have homes and families. We know where they live.
