Maybe the only advantage would have been cannon but those could have been captured.
Until at least the war of 1812 more artillery pieces were in private hands than in the hands of the government. I believe that information came from "The Founders Second Amendment" where it is detailed.

Today the military is better trained and armed with planes tanks and helicopters that you wont stop with a ar or ak.
It blows my mind that anyone could say this now as the US government is re-instating the Taliban in Afghanistan b/c the Taliban, with almost no training, funding, less arms than US civilians, more aof an electronics disadvantage, no manufacturing, etc, etc, were able to out last all the gunships, cruise missiles, tanks, and mountains of electronics. For the SECOND TIME.

You can't win without heavy cavalry
You can't win without a navy
You can't win without gunships

When you lean on technology balance is fragile.
