Numbers are a part of it, another one is that it's much easier to convince your own soldiers to shoot those guys with guns rather than telling them to gun down an unarmed crowd. Similarly, an armed opposition is inevitably going to cause collateral casualties of their own, and attract extremist elements in a lot of cases, making it easy for the government to paint them as mere terrorists (as in the Syrian case, where it did unfortunately end up attracting a lot of terrorists, or in Mali, where the Taureg's cause was outright hijacked by AQM)
