If you have the numbers to violently overthrow the US government with the weapons available to us, you have the numbers to do it without violence. Of all the successful revolutions post-WWII with well-equipped, modern industrialized armies, all (or almost all, depending on interpretation) have been more or less nonviolent. You'll be horribly outgunned and at best can only engage in a war of attrition, unless you can get a significant portion of the military to defect, which is highly unlikely and might as well just be a coup.
Our options, if voting him out proves impossible, are either a general strike or hope for principled military leaders to enact a coup. Bringing guns into it isn't going to help anything.

It'll suck no matter what, but for a Biden win scenario 4 is far better than scenario 2. That's why I'm encouraging anyone who can to vote in person. People have risked their lives and died for democracy- the miniscule risk involved in going to the polls wearing a mask, keeping distanced, and washing hands immediately afterward is really the least we can do.
