98% of LEO’s will do what they’re told and not even complain much. If you’re relying on cops to protect you or your rights, you’re naive. Besides, direct confiscation is unnecessary. A $10,000/yr possession tax enforced by the IRS with compounded penalties would scare 90% of the guns out the hands of Americans. We’ve seen from obamacare that the SCOTUS will stomach any sort of tax.

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!!"
