Re: this one:
#2) If such an order is given, will you or fellow members of your organization enforce it against the citizens? (And if so, how?)

I can foresee something like this being attempted. However, I do not think any local LEOs would be tasked with this.
IMO it would be non-local uniformed personnel of some Gov't agency tasked with this. If it happens, this is how, IMO, it will be staffed.

A right cannot be taxed.

Murdock Vs. Pa, 319 US 105

To try to tax the possession of firearms would be the quintessential description of what the Founders meant when they said "shall not be infringed!!"

So, they wouldn't confiscate guns only because it would be too dangerous or because they don't like the guy in the White House. Why am I not comforted by that?

"People that spend $500 on a nice handgun are almost never the problem when it comes to violent crime. It's the ones who pick up a junk gun for $50 on the street."

"Levying new taxes on all handguns like the tax stamps on class three weapons" would likely prevent new guns from being purchased by most violent criminals

How stupid is this guy? 'The expensive guns bought legally aren't the problem, so let's make the guns bought legally more expensive.'

Target ranges pay non-real estate property taxes for plant and equipment which includes the rental firearms. The precedent is there and in a John Roberts court, anything can be taxed, even your health.

Anyone who thinks cops, especially in the cities will not follow whatever orders they’ve been handed from above is delusional, and hasn’t been paying adequate attention.

In retrospect, I think few gun owners would say that lady was anywheres near responsible in her ownership/handling/storage of her weapons, especially considering she had a KNOWN very troubled person living in her house. I'm not convinced. I have not read or heard about her storage. Did she have loaded firearms in every corner of the home, like many of my relatives do? That would have been irresponsible with her troubled son. Did she have her firearms in a locked gun safe, with the key someplace that she could reasonably consider secure? If he took the key by force, it's hard to blame her for failing to fully prepare for that possibility.

“In retrospect, I think few gun owners would say that lady was anywheres near responsible in her ownership/handling/storage of her weapons, especially considering she had a KNOWN very troubled person living in her house.”

Fair enough. One of the NRA rules for gun storage is not to store them where unauthorized people can get to them. He should have been an unauthorized person.

OTOH, putting them into an impregnable fortress is not necessarily cost effective for many gun owners. Less than impregnable means a determined, but unauthorized, person can get to them. I don’t know what her situation was.
