Probably bcz the military has all the guns. Who exactly is supposed to hold the group accountable when they could just point a weapon at you and your entire family?
Actually the US civilians have 400-600 million guns, the military has 4.5 million. They do have all the bombs and infrastructure though.
And all the tanks, fighter jets, attack helicopters, warships…
And nobody ever mentions intelligence in these conversations. Only people truly off the grid are unknowns, or unknown gun owners.
The people handing them an endless supply of money?
