I don't think it's really about taking away guns as much as it is about seizing more control. They don't really care about the guns. If they control you like a puppet, then of course they control the guns you have as well. As I said above, if they have one by the balls, then the hearts, minds - and guns - will follow.
What I expect to happen is that while everyone is preoccupied and distracted with having their guns taken away, the power seizure will be realized. In the aftermath, folks are going to be breathing a sigh of relief - "Thank god! They didn't get muh GUNZ!", and they will fail to notice the degree of power the opposition has seized over them, without a shot ever being fired in defense.
It ain't about the guns at all. It's much more sinister and nefarious than that.
ETA: During the first American Revolution, there was a lot of discontent leading up to it, just as there is now. There was, however, no real revolution until the British started seizing the arsenals... and all hell broke loose. I doubt TPTB will repeat that particular mistake again when they don't have to. They're not after the guns, they're after the balls, which will remain unprotected while everyone is busy guarding their guns and hugging them tight. The proper employment of a firearm is to shoot the bastard when he reaches for your balls. That way you get to keep both. They understood that 250 years ago. Not so much today.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
