2) "I sided with Bellamy in this argument: why do what your oppressors want you to do?"

Maybe it's because if you don't people would have died? The Ark was dying. If those people didn't know Earth was survivable again then they wouldn't come down. All of the Ark citizens would have died, including the innocents (which included children). So instead of selfishly taking off their wristbands the Delinquents should have done everything they could to bring home their people. Maybe the rules were harsh and maybe no Council member or no Chancellor was innocent but there were innocent people there. If you ask me, it was pretty selfish of them to only care about their own happiness instead of wanting to save the innocent people from their inevitable deaths if they didn't know Earth was survivable again. Also, what if it were your family and friends up in space and you were one of the Delinquents? Would you just take off your wristband because you didn't want to do what your oppressors wanted you to do?

3) "You can trust very few people in an apocalypse so lack of trust is too broad a reason for taking someone's weapon."

It's not too broad of a reason. You don't want somebody who you don't trust, who can potentially be very dangerous and/or psychotic, to walk around with a weapon. That's not safe for you or for anyone else.
