Yes, they stole rifles, and there were traders/traitors that sold them to the Indians. However, it was a matter of too little too late, combined with other factors . . . such as the fact that not every tribe got along with each other. So we actually had Indians help us kill other Indians.
Yes, in a perfect world weapons would not be necessay, however, this is not a perfect world. Before guns they used rocks and sticks to kill each other. It is human nature.
