If the government goes bad, I suspect some civilians may have access to armories and the weapons they contain that in many respects match what the military units have.

Nukes are irrelevant. The stuff that can take out soldiers at a distance aren't. Add a few odds and ends that can target aircraft and helicopters and you've got a hell of a resistance. Keep in mind anyone, as long as they meet requirements, can purchase 20mm weapons. A 20mm shell compares to a .50 cal BMG cartridge as a .22 to a .30-06.

Most hunters in this country don't use .223 poodle shooters like the military.

Of course, the ammo is a little tough to find.
