Not so (bollocks, in fact). That's American thinking. The guns they're talking about are in the hands of white farmers and so on and they won't be sufficient to protect themselves from the government. The majority of the other guns are in the hands of criminals, and they don't have them for protection from the government.

A bgi factor here is that there aren't enough police and they aren't well enough equipped, compared to their "customers".
OK, thanks for pointing that out.
