The stuff many of these wannabe revolutionaries have in their gun cabinets that they think will stand up against the military if there was a real civil war.
I don’t know who all your imaginary “revolutionaries” are, but I think that people buy guns of various sorts, not “ swap-meet pop guns”.
As we’ve seen in the middle east the high tech military weapons do little against regular old guns and gorilla type fighting.
It will never change. So yea, what people have in their gun cabinet could fight the military if it came down to it.
