See Afghanistan. Full might of US military couldn't permanently suppress the will of the people. And afghans were significantly less wealthy, armed and organized than gun owners in america.
There is no way the police and military could occupy the US without the support of the people. They would win every battle and lose the war, like Vietnam and Afghanistan. The modern military is very dependant on supply chains, and would collapse after 6 months if US workers revolted.
Not to mention the massive defections if ordered to fire on their own people (why we swear an oath to the constitution and not an oath of allegiance to military commanders).
