> the enemy may be the US military itself.

with tanks, nukes, helicopters, and actual soldiers with automatic weapons and grenades.

It's delusional to think that you will do anything other than piss yourself if the US military "knocks" on your door. At best you will die by grenade, at worst - turned into a pancake by some tank.

How do you picture yourself winning against the strongest military in the world, with your rifle at home? Do you really think you'll join a militia, shoot at US soldiers and survive to tell the story of how you bravely defended your freedoms against a tyrannical government?

This isn't a movie where you die a hero. The ship where citizens can defend themselves with weapons against a tyrannical government has sailed a very long time ago.
