Then all the brave ones will be lost one by one apart from each other and alone. Perhaps it would be better for the brave ones to give all 'known and documented' weapons to the evil ones, then group together some other time to retake them. Potentially more then they had to begin with.

A weak and untrained citizen with a gun is essentially a liability anyway.
A group of weak and untrained citizens with guns is a disaster.
You need a group of knowledgeable and willing citizens coordinated at the same time with guns to do anything regarding real control. Might as well use the reprocurement of munitions as the first test for a newly formed battalion to filter out the cowards anyway.
No need to have all the brave ones for being brave when it is just the one versus a seat squad and filter themselves out because they didn't want to get rid of a weapon. The human capital is more important.
The one willing to die to keep their weapons are those that most need to be retained.
Your logic is flawed, confiscated guns will be destroyed. There will be no retaking them. Most of the rest I agree with except the fact that the brave people have to die. If there are no guns to find, then you don't have to turn them in. You don't have to try and fight off the swat team single handedly...thus all the boating accidents. Although, I bet the realization that people need to be organized will become rather apparent when that first guy is killed during a gun confiscation. And if he takes out one or two of them when they come for him, maybe the rest of them won't be so anxious to come round up everybody else. Just saying.
I use to own guns. Now I own a boat. It taught me a lesson - never go boating with your guns because they sink fast. Must be the all the metal.
also learn to make improvised guns while it's still legal
it's not as hard as it looks
Mine went down in a boating accident.
You can always get guns back. You just need enough people brave enough to use less to take them. That's going to be the hard part.
Why give them up so they need to be taken back? How about not giving them up in the first place?

You know - just hypothetically speaking.
