Afghan rebels were pounded at first and only turned the tide when they got anti-aircraft and other weaponry (care of the USA).

Homeowners do not have these weapons. A government helicopter can come to your house, stay out of range of your small arms fire, and kill your whole family with a missile. A whole closet full of rifles is useless in this situation.

The idea of a citizen's militia successfully battling the government like in the late 18th century is obsolete.
