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.

You know - just hypothetically speaking.
