What most of you people ignore, is that not 100mio is on your side. you will always have people who support the goverment, or "law and order". So what you get is a bloody war, rebel army vs. loyal army and rebel milita vs. loyal milita. Both types of miltia will be used as cannonfodder.
I don't see how armed civillians will make a difference other that raising the number of casualties
