I had that pointed out to me when I made the same point.

I did point that out. However if soldiers would join the revolutionaries, they would also gain access to some of the army's weapons, which would be much compared to the arms people keep at home.
Basically my point was:
If you really gotta fight the
whole army you'll lose.
If you got part of the army with you, I'm not sure your personal 1911A will make that much a difference.
P.S.: Personally I love guns and if my country allowed automatic weaponry I should be the first to buy some
BUT
After giving the thing a little thought I decided that owning a gun is dangerous and that I don't want that kind of responsibilty. So although I read a lot about guns, and would never refuse if someone took me along to the shooting range, the only pieces I own are two 6mm BB replicas.
