It only even comes close to being true at rather high level among PCs, but if we look at low level PCs, it's not that hard for fighters and rogues to kill wizards and even clerics. If the peasants have guns, they need even less training to kill wizards. (easily modeled by firearms not requiring any training to gain proficiency, or perhaps only needing an hour or so of training) Also, just a note, the most successful peasant revolts I can think of happened after the proliferation of firearms, not before, so I'm not sure I buy the idea that firearms help the powerful more than the peasants. ONce you get to the point where muskets or rifles replacing bows as the hunting and home defense weapon of the average farmer, peasant revolts are easier to pull off.</blockquote>
