As regards Iraq, the population has already had access to guns under Saddam, an AK-47 in every household ^_^ , nowadays of course American Soldiers regard possesion of handguns as proof that the owner is a jihadi!
If you base your rulership on force you need an efficient security service to prevent the opposition from organising and an army with heavy weapons. A disciplined force can take on ten times their number of disorganized civilians with handguns. If the army is prepared to use its heavy weapons ruthlessly they can win against even steeper odds!

I seem to recall Hilter doing something about guns... But I may have my dictators mixed up.
As for your army point... I offer one word in return. Iraq. Guerilla tactics are highly effective. There are people in this country all to prepared for a seige... They pray to God every day for it.
And, there are good men like Occhi the Rogue who would put his oath to defend the constitution over the commands of a nutjob. At least, I believe he would. So there would be well trained leadership.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
