Armed insurection has always worked so well against the American government, I'm surprised that more people haven't tried it.
Seriously, numbers mean nothing in this kind of conflict. It would be nothing but a slaughter. A force of 3,000,000 trained professionals with modern arms would completely tear apart 20,000,000 unorganized irregulars with only sidearms. I'm sorry, but I can't imagine any realistic scenario where rebels would emerge victorious. There are reasons why 100,000 Germans held off 2,000,000 Soviets at Stalingrad for 6 months. Any rebeling force would be disorganized at best and a mob in its most likely incarnation. You can't tell me that a highly organized, trained rebel army is going to spontaneous arise from nowhere in this country.
