In the 1770's American won a war against a "tyrannical" government using a rag-tag militia armed with whatever they had in the closet. In the days of Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry, a militia armed with hunting weapons could conceivably overthrow a government.
But today? What chance does an AR-15 have against a drone? Or a stealth bomber? Or a tank? Or a nuclear bomb? Or submarine launched cruise missiles? Or reconnaissance satellites?
If King George had nuclear weapons and George Washington had AR-15's, Americans would be driving on the left, playing cricket and enjoying a spot of tea.

What side are you arguing? Americans need access to fewer guns or more guns?
