The kind of extreme "gun nuts" that would likely start such a conflict will not have much to argue against with a republican government, because, surprise surpries, such a government woudln't try to destroy the 2nd amendment.
Like I said. I'm not sure the US military would be very effective against the us citizenry.

The US military would be extremely effective against the citizenry if it stayed entirely loyal to the government. If it split, then there would be a civil war with who knows what outcome. If it decided to turn on the government, it would be all over in no time and we'd have a new government.
