Experience of history suggests that in the event of a popular uprising the majority of the military will usually side with the government. Don't forget who pays the wages. The situation only changes if the government are already in an extremely weak position and the military has to calculate that they need to be on the winning side to avoid reprisals and to make sure the wages will continue to be paid.

As long as the US government is elected within the US constitution and without vote-tampering as alleged in Venezuela, it is pretty much a given that the US military will uphold the rule of law if necessary. In such a case, anyone who uses private firearms against the US military inside the USA can confidently expect to be executed for treason.
