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 Better to show 2nd amend is obsolete, with 2 arguments - US govt is not hostile to its citizens.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.
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.

You don’t think the US wanted to wipe out the Taliban or ISIS? ...ok. Either way, I’m offering examples of guerrilla fighters beating US.

The point is that any civilian militia would be decimated by the US military. Sure, some may survive to carry out a low-level insurgency, but what the govt wanted the govt would take, and an armed militia would not be able to stop it.

Assuming it had the full support of the military, of course.
