You're forgetting three things:

1) do you think that all members of the armed forces are happy with the situation?

2) how many members of the armed forces do you think are willing to actually fire on US citizens?

3) do you think enough of the weapons in this country are accouted for that the military is willing to mount such an offensive in the first place?
