It seems as though some posters here think that should confiscation occur it will be cops' fault as though cops are capable of making law. What they don't seem to grasp is that cops will be assigned/ordered to perform dirty work of slimy politicians that cops assuredly hate as much as they'll hate performing their assigned/ordered duties. Some posters here seem to want to direct their anger at fed/state/local cops performing their assigned/ordered duties w/o realizing that cops are fathers/mothers/sons/daughters/sisters/brothers, etc.
So are politicians.
And yes, cops will take the worst of it, because that's their purpose; it's what the politicians use them for.
Keep the populace in line, torture and kill as many of them as you have to (but no more, because that might impact our tax revenues, and without sufficient tax revenues it'll be hard for us to get enough votes to stay in power), and while you're at it, protect our sorry butts from anybody who may become...disgruntled.
As long as the cops do what the politicians tell them to do, it would take an awfully disciplined populace to go after the politicians instead of the cops. Mobs don't have much of a tendency toward discipline.
