Yes but if you are fighting a war you don't just keep the weapons you started with. You attack a base and take their weapons. Look at Syria, it is exactly what the Syrian rebels have been doing. Progressively attacking more military bases to further arm their forces, as well as getting a hand on more technologically advanced weaponry.
And further, if the U.S started using chemical weapons on its own people, there would be an international outcry. Again going back to Syria, they have the largest stockpile of chemical weapons and they are using none of them out of fear that other countries will become involved. If there was ever a revolution against the U.S. government we wouldn't have to fight it alone. Chances are there would be a few countries that would come to the aid of rebel forces.
Sorry, but didn't you say we need guns to defend against the government? Implying the government is the one attacking us? But you think the international outcry would happen when they started using chemical weapons?
Also, comparing us to Syrian rebels is downright laughable. As if you can compare the competence of the Syrian government to the US government.

Again going back to the first point. Eventually, if you take a couple of bases you will eventually have your own drones.
Yeah, just take a few UNITED STATES MAXIMUM SECURITY MILITARY BASES HOUSING DRONES, no big fuckin' deal!

You're oversimplifying our situation with Afghanistan. Also, you cannot compare the control the US has over bases in Afghanistan with the control it has over its own citizens.
