A split in civilian ranks would also cause a split in the military. If enough units with enough equipment deserted to the other side, you could have a really bloody mess on your hands.
In the end though, any military would be unable to police an armed population that's willing to fight. As has happened in Vietnam and Afghanistan. No military unit is going to fight their own civilians without some hesitation. The second amendment as such still serves its purpose today by arming the civilian population.
Artillery is really only really effective against an enemy that is all grouped together in one area. Splitting everyone up into small highly mobile units makes artillery practically useless.

Yes you are right, but only half right. Discern and discover, then once you've identified that they are lying from a position of power in order to further their power at the detriment of the rest of us, then remove them from that position of power in order to put an end to the destruction those lies are causing our society.

US population: 327.2 million (2018) - 5 million = 322.2 million civilians
5 million / 322.2 million = 0.015518311607697082557417752948479 -

Well then I clearly understand it better than you if you think artillery would be effective against many pockets of 3 or 4 man units that are all moving independently of each other, especially within an urban warfare setting which makes it extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact positions of any of them. Just look at how effective the russians used stalingrad to fight the germans forcing them to have to send patrols into the ruins of the city to try and clear up the pockets one by one rather than just using artillery and bombs to easily wipe out the opposition.
Where as in the first world war where the enemy were all in a small area of the trenches and pinpointing artillery strikes was easier. And even then artillery was only so effective, it wasn't actually a war winner by a long shot.
Also look at how the viet cong would attack american patrols in small units very quickly then just melted back into the jungle after a couple of minutes before the americans had time to order in artillery or air strikes against them, rendering american artillery near useless.
