Yes, it has nothing to do with owning guns or not, it's about whether a sizeable part of the population is willing to take appropriate action or not, and willing to take the sacrifice that might come with it.
No guns are needed if you decide to storm governmental buildings when you have the sheer number. But that type of mindset is lacking.

It depends on if there is a military response or not. If the military stands down or joins with the people, then the government is done. If the military decides to use their weapons on the people, then the people are done. Plenty of civilian revolutions have been put down by government military.
