There is no such thing as an "assault rifle". All weapons can be used for defense or assault. When the L.A. Riots happened, several Korean store owners patrolled the roof of their business with uzi 9mm, and AK-47s and defend their store when the police wouldn't or couldn't. This weapon allowed them to defend against multiple attackers.

The U.S. government has absolutely zero authority to ban any kind of gun for any reason. The same is true of all state and local governments. 100% of gun control laws are a violation of the Constitution and more importantly of our civil rights.

If the government removed these unconstitutional laws, you can rest assured, there would be plenty of private rocket launcher owners.

Either way, the American people have enough firepower to overcome the U.S. military. The fact of the matter is all of the institutions you mentioned have very few people who would actually fire on Americans for defending their right to keep and bear arms. In fact very few would fire on Americans trying to overthrow the government and take their country back...with the exception of the most scummy elements like the NSA, CIA, etc.

The majority of those in the military, national guard, and local police would not fire on Americans and would fire on those who did.
