I don't think it's a given that the government would wholesale slaughter citizens in an uprising. I think there would be enough military defections to give the citizens as much of a chance and weaponry as the conflicts in Vietnam or Afghanistan.

Precisely. But honestly, we've far surpassed the point that any civilian or even militia could legitimately take on our government if they turned tyrannical.
That time has long passed with the advancement of real military technology.
It isnt musket vs musket, it's .223 vs 20mm if you're lucky or 9mm vs 105 mm if your not.
