So... you're saying
Oh no no, my friend. If the wealthy being gunned down results in gun control, it won't be for them. There will be some kind of exemption for private security that will be extremely expensive to get. Those wealthy enough will be able to find ways of sourcing their own if they want one. We'd be the ones without guns in that scenario.
I think you're actually underestimating our dystopia. Private security/military already exist to the scale that the, literal, "war" aspect of a class war would make actual arms mostly irrelevant. I think at that point it's just a numbers game.
Numbers are a very large part of that particular game.
This already exists.
In New York wealthy business people pay small town sheriffs to deputize them. As deputies they now have a right to concealed carry, even in places like NYC that have very strict gun laws.
I hate that this is a thing.
