Gun deaths won't convince NRA-types of need for gun control, for they consider gun deaths an acceptable cost of 2nd amend. Better to show 2nd amend is obsolete, with 2 arguments - US govt is not hostile to its citizens. - If it was hostile to its citizens, guns wouldn't stop it.
A war on the US's home turf, where most of its military is already based, would be very different from one fought in a far-off country.

Ok. But if the largest and highest tech military in the world can’t beat dudes in caves, it clearly isn’t just about technology.

If the US had wanted to annihilate the Taliban, or Viet Cong, or Iraqi insurgency, it would have. It chose not to because it didn't consider it worth the time, money, or international condemnation. If the US govt was intent on wiping out its citizens, they'd have no chance.
