The tweet's "guns they had" could reasonably be construed to mean guns in common use, not these. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belton_flintlock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisha_Collier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper-box https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun The remainder of the tweet is the author's opinion.
