Even if we had 10 million guns, they'd all be hunting guns and you still couldn't start a militia with them. We're not even a pointy stick in comparison to America's civilian gun ownership. The reason I point a comparison to America, is because the comment about "disarming" the public clearly starts from a previously armed public, and of those there are actually pretty few, and only one which I know to keep gun ownership as such a strong part of it's identity.
It's no doubt something you would need to do to have a totalitarian government take over the US, but it's not really a step required for most other countries. There' aren't many countries that could raise a militia capable of overthrowing a military backed government just from it's citizens.
