They didn't agree. They only agreed literally at gunpoint (including auto cannons, or "wagon guns").
Control question: do you also believe the feds were "ambushed" at Waco? (They said they were, I say they weren't, perhaps "ant-American".)
They were relucant to give up their rifles for many reasons: masculinity symbols (status symbol for young men especially), they needed them for hunting as they were still just nomadic hunters, most simply their property (and most valuable at that), and instead of even any compensation they just got big guns pointed at them, making them afraid to be disarmed. And for a good reason even as they didn't know world history: https://www.ammoland.com/2022/01/historic-gun-control-wounded-knee-massacre-december-29-1890/
Waco had many similarities, including a wacky apocalyptic cult with (legal) guns, a raid by bumbling idiot feds, a bloodbath after a random gunshot, lots of dead kids, and instigation of all this by sensationist journalism.
Your actual "ambush" scene: https://books.google.pl/books?id=rfUFZSlW-JAC&pg=PA294 (p.294-301)
It's citing a soldier with his confusion and/or bias. Now keep on reading the Indian accounts, who knew the context of this all, "you retard" (but really, you are). And the context is they wanted to tell them to leave the guy alone until they explained to him what is happening, but just then the interpreter (whose account is also included) was distracted and went away and a couple of sargeants started to wrestle the guy over his prized rifle, all while other soldiers started loading and aiming their guns at the people they have mostly disarmed already.
Also keep on reading what happened next after the accidental discharge. And which will be your "ambush", that is a desperate fight with of few dozen men and boys armed with mostly just knives at first and a few captured or recaptured guns against hundreds of soldiers with heavy weapons and no-prisoners attitude for several hours to cover their fleeing women and children.
Oh, and the time for your "ambush" had been then: https://books.google.com/books?id=rfUFZSlW-JAC&pg=PA274
