Hrm you get bashed in the head I'm going to do some sniping. You have to look at guns in a common sense sort of way which is that the gun is just another tool. And also with your point of the musket it was the technology of the time in fact the general populace probably had better guns than the armies. The human spirit + guns makes better sense to me. The way I invision a take over is the more things change the more people will stay the same. Their will be roadblocks and curfews I plan to obey neither and my gun is just another force of persuasion.
