"Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?"
This is the argumentum ad baculum fallacy. I can tell this is so because it is an appeal to fear. Henry wants people to see that if that they don't fight now, then more critical and scary situations for the colonists might happen. He wants them to fear what they might be headed for. This is also closely linked to appeal to consequences. If they don't fight now, this will happen.
