Ofcourse they took casualties but I have never heard of any official figures and doubt I will ever do.

I was generalising really, but GoldenRivet is right that it is likely that a good portion of the US military would join any resistance style movement against a potential tyrannical government and would probably be key in training up various 'Wolverine' style units to harrass the enemy using asymetrical warfare which, as we have learnt in Afghanistan, can be bloody effective against even a superior foe.
However, against a determined enemy, well unless the firearm owners had had sufficient training in warfare or were army vets, I can't see them being much more than a nuisance, and perhaps a hinderance to US forces. After all, you can't get AT weaponry legally, so you can't stockpile it, and explosives are strictly monitored, so you'd be forced to take it from the enemy who would be doing their damnedest to protect it.
In many ways, anyone invading the US would face their very own Afghanistan, with Americans playing the Afghans. There's a strange thought.
