There’s only so many “swat tanks”, and there are a lot of people who can get together and engage the enemy on their own terms once we know the veneer is off.
Even swat guys have families that live in the area. They can’t all go live on a compound for the rest of their lives. They want to live their lives as normal people as well.
I wish I had your confidence, not as though your scenario is all that great. Where were all these Sons of Liberty during Ruby Ridge or Waco? Oh, those guys were a one off situation, and they were molesting kids. That’s what they’re going to say about us too. Or we were cheating on our taxes, or cooking meth. Whatever they want to say.
I think it’s probably too late to resist. I think it’s physically possible. There are certainly enough of us. But I have plans, a life, a future. If they come for your guns, and kill you, I’d jump however high they wanted so I could live to see my grandkids. However, if there was an organized effort, lead by non-McVeigh types, I’d be in.
