What you won't be able to do is succeed in disarming America.
You also assume that you won't have to do it, but the same police and military that you despise, will do it for you.
The right to keep and bear arms, is the foundation of American freedom and exceptionalism. You might want to destroy both, but don't assume it will be an unopposed conflict.
The question for bobc and others of his ilk, is whether you want to risk life and limb attacking those who just want to enact some legal controls on access to weapons, without repealing the right to bear arms or disarming people qualified to bear them, and without destroying American freedom. You start the conflict, however, and it will be YOUR freedom that is lost, not America's.
There is no such thing as American exceptionalism. The only thing that can be destroyed is the illusion held by folks like you bobc that there's such a thing.
