Would like to see what that rifle would do against a tank or an IFV.

Yeah that's the only reason they're allowed those guns, because any ACTUAL civil war would be decided by air superiority and armor. Honestly let's do it, it would be hilarious.

Such a facetious argument to act like guns wouldn't in some way limit the military.
Because even if you bomb territory that doesn't mean you can occupy it, see Afghanistan and Vietnam. Infantry is needed for occupation when the enemy is mixed in with civilians.
And furthermore, don't you think in the event of a civil war a fair bit of the military would be a bit unwilling to bomb urban areas?
Bombing people is not that effective indeed. The American government should learn from Stalin - public purges and famine will make anyone compliant. Can't fight a partisan war when you're starved to death and can't even walk.
Would take a long time before they starve to death though, lol.
