By guns, I meant the ultimate protection from possible invaders, thugs, theives, and people who called themsleves the government and the like.
If people are asked to hand over their guns, than it is the same as having no defense. It is the same as giving up liberty. It is the same as letting yourself and everyone else be massacared.(The Nazis will have an extremely difficult time of exterminating the Jews if all Jews are well armed)
Words are not substitue for armed men who cannot easily be coreced into giving up his liberty.
That is why the founding father put in the 2nd Amendment because they forseen the possiblity that the government of this country may become tyrannical. Without arms, there are no way to resist the government when it decided to turn on the population.
Note that I'm not talking about words. Words are only a tool to further knowledge, intelligence, and organization.
The guns are an implementation detail. The tools you need are generally context-specific. Malone: "You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun." What if they're destroying your culture, your economic substrate? Bringing a gun to this party is like bringing a knife to go after Malone. (The Untouchables.)
Knowledge, intelligence, and organization are fundamental. These are the fundamental means of defense, which the populace has given up.
The Nazis accomplished an impressive feat of data processing to collate the identity information of almost all of the Jews in the territories they controlled. If the Nazis lacked that, far more lives would have been saved than arming the Jewish minorities. A gunfight is one of the outcomes they would have wanted. It would have been a propaganda coup for them! And if the Jews had been an unorganized mob, so much the better for them.
