Not at all. Otherwise they’d be truly anonymous. People with guns know how to parse the blockchain and how to find you if they need.

Maybe BTC but XMR was built with anonymity in mind to begin with.

And as for BTC, the lightning network will add a level of anonymity as well.

Further, even if people with guns can track you, at least the people with guns can print more BTC or XMR to buy still more guns with.
