The fuck are you on about? Civil wars happen regardless of the population being armed or not. See Myanmar.
Off topic, but Myanmar has had local militias for decades and they were in varying states of rebellion until the democratic reforms in the 2010-2020 period. Yes, the civil war has spread further now, but this was in no way a disarmed country.

Myanmar was heavily restricted on access to firearms. It’s why the 3d printed guns were used a ton early on before the free people could get access to firearms. The junta has relaxed this for supporters of the regime, but saying that they were armed is a bit of a stretch.

I’m just going to leave you this link: …wikipedia.org/…/List_of_ethnic_armed_organisatio…
Check the Active list and the founding years. This was not a disarmed population. What the Tatmadaw did or did not allow was not much of a concern outside the central plains.
But these messages are being deleted, so whatever.

Less than 200k total in those groups… including those post coup, which also includes loyalist to the Junta.
Myanmars population is 50+ million.
A single state New Jersey which has the lowest per capita ownership has more firearms in civ hands than those groups combined.

That is not an armed populous.
