I thought that was who this was: the fraud.

He sure has a thing about guns, doesn't he? He sorta misses the point that the troops on the ground didn't carry sticks and rocks but carried better "technology" if you will, than the enemy.
Patrick Ferguson died because he chose the wrong ground and his "new" technology was not sufficiently advanced over that of his opponents.
He COULD have seen that it was the technological superiority of the North that led to the defeat of the South in the Civil War, if he weren't so blinded by his premise.
Better technology led to pin-point bombing in Iraq: so much so that people were able to travel daily as the war progressed, left the infrastructure intact, for the most part, and enabled them to watch the progress of the Allies come right to the gates of Baghdad before their TV's went out.
What more should technology do?
This guy is a loon.

Yes - and even if the "guns" carried by both sides don't differ that much, the better "technology" of our side, including communications, backup, tanks, etc. matter a lot.
