They may need them ...
but even an armed citizenry will soon present no obstacle to tyranny,
as governments will increasingly transition to drones and other automated systems,
able to kill en masse, without courage or ability, from complete mechanized safety.

Technology can be captured and repurposed.

But where do you get the skills and training to use it?

Any technology that requires skills and training is useless in the field because the only soldiers who will continue working for the tyrants are low IQ goombas. Technology has to be user friendly. Anything that isn't will quickly become more effective in the hands of the resistance because of their superior intelligence.

OK, what button starts the F16 engine? https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=f16+cockpit

They're moving to drones, one big reason is they know high iq pilots will join the resistance

That might be what happened on 9/11, a good guy went against orders and shot a missile down
