We train our family members to never allow a criminal to take them to a second location. It doesn’t matter what you think are their motives because once there, you are out of options. So you must fight for your life at the first encounter.
Likewise, not every government who outlaws private ownership of firearms becomes genocidal however, every single genocidal government first prepared the ground by seizing arms from private citizens. Therefore, regardless of what you believe are their motives, it doesn’t matter. You must fight disarmament as if your life depends on it.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?…
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation… We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
