I think once they get guns out of the way they go after the fundamental right to self-defense and the natural right to live (for some people). Yes, I think they are that evil. I think if you look at the socials you quickly understand that they believe it's their world and some people don't belong in it. This is far less about distributed random crime (picking winners/losers) and far more about building a progressive utopia IMHO.
Guns are just the tools of resistance to violence. They are preparing the battlespace.
