Secondly, resistance fighters throughout history have been able to use crude methods with surprising success against technologically superior foes.
But like I said, I wouldn't see it getting to that point unless the system had entirely broken down, and we seem to be a long way from that.
JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

I read somewhere (many years ago) that the easiest way to engineer that kind of thing (in the early stages) is to destroy all the capable public figures with innuendo and rumour.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Scripture before Tradition:
but that won't prevent others from
taking it upon themselves to deprive you
of the right to call yourself Christian.

Though the harsh reality is, I don't know how you could actually change that without some way to remove the guns already out there. Limiting what people can buy or own in the future would take a long time to show any benefit given the number of legal and illegal guns already out there.
