I’ve heard of this potential disarmament scenario:

You get an audit notice to appear at X date and time.

While you’re there, your house is searched and stuff confiscated.

Feds avoid a confrontation and get your guns.

That scenario was the basis for the book Unintended Consequences.
The result was the basis for the name of the book.

As practiced several times in different nations during the 20th century. Very effective in those instances, though, today it would require more rapid execution together with media collusion and control of other communication channels (phone, internet) to prevent people from hiding/burying some firearms before the friendly NKVD DHS/ATF visit.

Cripes man, what makes them think that everyone keeps all their weapons in one place?

Cops I know call this a Hide and Seek warrant. More fun stuff from our wonderful "Patriot" Act.

I would guess that after word gets out of a few dozen of these “audits”, folks will stop showing up at the designated time and place.
