You're gonna have better luck leaving the country before the civil war than you are shooting the people trying to break into your house in that scenario. There are at least a couple million "regular" US soldiers + feds; if we're worried about millions more private citizens on top of that, what exactly is the gameplan to win in any meaningful sense regardless?

The gameplan is for people to quickly realize that it's not just a "rape and pillage whatever you want" type of mission they're embarking on. The vast majority of people have little appetite for actual resistance (as your comments reveal), and so a little resistance will very likely go a long way.

There are far more people willing to defend their homes than there are people willing to get shot in the face breaking into someone's home.
