Also, how would guns help against such a powerful military as the US has?

  The US military can't control a country (Iraq) with 4.5% the land area and 11% the population; I find it unlikely the US military would do better in the event of a serious civil war within the US -- and that's assuming no portion of the US army defects against the government. The only real solution would be to bomb civilian areas under the guise of stopping militia fighters, which, as we've recently seen in history, makes you popular with the locals.

  It definitely would. The problem is that those guns don't only work when their owners are are supporting a free rebellion. They can also be used to usher in a tyrannical government. Hell, since the US is a democracy, its probably more likely to usher in a tyranny than defeat one. The Southern states used their guns to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans to hold up slavery.
