Wouldn’t be muskets against muskets anymore though.

If the tyranny involved the army we would need anti aircraft weapons among other things.

Not as much as you might think.

Generally, the guys running the high ticket items are family men. Twenty year old troopers taking orders from a quasi-father figure, sure. But the guys the military has deep investment in usually have their own deep investments.

Oh, I’m sure they wouldn’t be living in their own AOs, but would you want to foment genuine, justifiable, domestic, murderous rage against yourself, then try to raise your family in suburbia?

Not necessarily. That's the fallacy of the "you can't use AR-15s to beat a modern army" argument. You don't have to defeat them. Just be impossible to govern.

No one in modern times has ever attempted to subdue with force a population as well-armed as ours. I think there's a reason for that.
