They aren't. You know why? When the Second Amendment was written, at 50 yards or so, you could literally outrun a musketball. If it didn't bounce off your coat. Besides, "Your puny AK-47 is useless. So, we need to have at least some of our volunteer resistance show up with Stinger missiles, some anti-aircraft batteries, maybe a submarine or two?" I hear Soros has a fleet of A-10 Warthogs he might call into service too if you talk to him purty.
For a credible revolution, you need real weapons and supplies, and people who know how to use them. So you need substantial involvement of trained military and veterans. With small arms and insiders, you get the real weapons and supplies. That seems pretty unlikely in the US. And it it did go down, the result would arguably be some mix of military dictatorship and feudalism. <SNIP>
