You know absolutely nothing about partisan tactics, do you? Guns can, and absolutely could stop well-armored soldiers outside of tanks, and no army is 100% mechanized to provide defense against small-arms fire. All it'd take are a few firearm carrying citzens near a major army checkpoint engage in said small arms fire to take out a few soldiers in constant hit-and-run tactics. Doing this hundreds, if not thousands of times against soldiers would destroy their morale, make recruitment impossible, and eventually lead to a partisan war of attrition that is greatly in favor of the firearm-carrying citizens.
And how are they going to bomb your city when they don't even know who to bomb? Do you think that a firearm-backed militia would make themselves known to be susceptible to aerial bombing? Not only this, it would be a PR nightmare to hear 'US military bombs insurgent city. 10,000 civilians believed to be dead'. Talk to a gun owner, they know what to do to overthrow the government if it ever had to come to that. Thank God it hasn't, and hopefully won't.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
