Ah, the "muskets" gambit...

Yes, muskets, which were the "military grade" weapons of the time...

Civilians also owned canons and gun ships (which they leased to the newly created government to fight the British)...

Oh, btw, the 1A was written when they only had set type printing and town criers. No TV, Radio or Internet...
