And the "gov't drones will get you" crowd should note this situation.
God willing we never have to worry about it, but a revolt against a tyrannical gov't would be an unconventional one.
Guerilla warfare and massive amounts of sabotage of the critical infrastructure, including utilities and logistics.

In this scenario, I can guarantee you that a large portion of the military members will defect to the cause, with massive amounts of equipment.
(heavily dependant on the situation, of course).
