Maybe. But if that’s the case, horrifying weapons of war already existed back then and were not excluded.
I’m not loving the thought of millions of hicks like me with nukes, of course. But a “well regulated militia”? Why not? If that’s what it takes to overthrow a tyrannical government, so be it.
I get your point and agree with the concept, and obviously if a war erupts between the people and it's government all bets are off and what is legal no longer has meaning. But nuclear weapons are in a class of their own. They are strategic weapons employed not against governments but against nations. I cannot see any use for them in a revolution.

That’s a great point. I was looking at them as simply weapons, but you’re right. Actually using them in your own country would be dumb.
But everything else I’d be fine with.
The revolution will not be televised. Or nuclear.
Look harder its there
