Guns are not an assurance that you can kill more people than someone with bombs to win a slice of land, conceptually. Any number groups have an interest in a stable economy and a cooperating population. Bombs dont build or maintain infrastructure (eg farming). Guns ensure a population can manage to disrupt individual police actions. This modern guerilla gunplay has never had to become more sophisticated because of the efficacy in resisting day to day oppression (depending on your definition). The US in Vietnam, everyone in Afghanistan, Israel with Palestine. Bullets are dangerous enough to influence history, as with nuclear weapons. Same but different.
