Better chance at what? A better chance as you try to shoot the guided missile with a .223 round before it slams into the ground wiping out everything within a 1/8 mile? Or a better chance against shoulder fired missiles to take out your position? A better chance against a tank? Predator drones are out of range of your crappy little light arms.
As a former and passive student of warfare, i'd say you are a bit out of date with your thinking if you believe a rifle is going to make a difference. At best, it will just make you feel like you tried, before you died. We've been in Iraq and Afghanistan for how many years now? More soldiers have died by suicide than by fighting in Afghanistan. Stop and think about what that says about the state of modern warfare and technology.
The only thing small arms will do is give someone on the ground a target to paint with a laser, so the missile can take out your home and neighbors. That is all. This isn't the year 1773, in case you haven't noticed.
You guys don't need rifles, you need medication and therapy.
