Trust me, any military historian would scoff at the idea that a modern military has nothing to fear from an armed populace.

Interesting theory.

These two say you're wrong.  

I seriously doubt the army would lose that "war" but they would also take it seriously enough to "fear" an armed populace without "fear" of losing given they supply of weapons and ammo versus the enemy's. 

But I can see a scenario where pockets of insurgents continue to cause trouble much like ISIS does for an extended period of time.
