You grossly overestimate the effectiveness of air power and other
weapons designed for use against mechanized forces in the field against
an insurgency.

Aks, ARs, Garands, and any semi-auto handgun would be very effective in
any revolution.

You would if your opponent had artillery, jet fighters, napalm and
fuel-air bombs.

US subjects are only allowed to own weapons that they could never use
to
make a revolution. All you can do with your popguns is kill other
civilians.

Or in the USA, actually. They don't allow US subjects to own any
