@real mustang - I'm not sure how well trained they were - they were mostly farmers - and if I remember correctly the European military members that came over to train the Yanks found them totally untrained and were frustrated - (duh they were farmers not soldiers) - and the firearms at the time were probably used more for food than for offense - so banning them could mean a family starved to death (not arguing a point - just discussing context).
