As far as I am concerned this argument is poo poo. back then we were armed equally with the military if you think about it. we could have given them way more of a fight then now. both sides had muskets and knives. Maybe the only advantage would have been cannon but those could have been captured. Today the military is better trained and armed with planes tanks and helicopters that you wont stop with a ar or ak.
