Violent revolutionaries and their tools are only important during The Revolution. After that they are a liability and source of instability for the new regime, and often they are disposed of because of this. Any revolutionary leader who says you get to keep your guns into perpetuity is either naive, or lying to you.
A less radical way to put it: Allowing a legal mechanism for people to wage an armed insurrection against their state isn’t freedom, it’s insanity.
As long as the disarmament isn’t forced and the conditions that led to the revolution are actually addressed.
People shouldn’t be barred from firearms because the guns are a threat to the state, only in the case of someone being a threat to others should they be restricted from firearms (even using one at a range under supervision).
