First and foremost every soldier, NCO and office must obey our oath of office. It clearly states that we will defend our nation IAW the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. As the 2nd Amendment provides the God given right to every American citizen to legally own firearms, any order of confiscation that comes from the federal government would be clearly an illegal order. As such it is the responsibility of all members of the military, law enforcement and civilian employees to refuse to accept and execute that order. In fact the order in and of itself is a violation of the Presidents oath and at a minimum would and should lead to his impeachment or the senior military officer in WDC arresting the Prez on treason. No if, and, or buts about it the elected official has clearly violated the Constitution and should be considered by all to be a domestic enemy!

If this is ever asked of you then you will know with 100% certainty that the government is about to go all dictatorship. At that moment of realization steps must be taken to defend the constitution of the United States by removing the threat on liberty by any means possible.

"I, Jordan Vied, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
First part of that is support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic....
Constitution ensures the right to bear arms...I obey all lawful orders. To me, confiscation is not a lawful order thus I would not follow said order.

I lived by this oath for 20 years and as many have said, I don't recall ever being relieved of this oath. As a civilian now, and I have told my wife this, I will die on my door step before giving up my guns. And believe me, I will not die alone. I fully believe that most GIs will not follow such an order, but there are those on active duty that would. They existed when I was in from '72 to '92 so I have no reason to not believe they are still there through out the ranks!

SGT Bryon Sergent, too easy: no way. An order to conduct door to door disarmament of American civilians would have to be one of the easiest unlawful orders to disobey.
Why? Because I know exactly how I would handle it if I were on the other side of the door.

Reappropriation of responsibility. Making the service personnel look bad, because they were the actor. Anti-military push/ aggravant.?

Being retired law enforcement officer and retired military. I would never obey such an order if had ever came down. A lot of my fellow officer's feel the same way. That is the last thing we want to is go into house full of weapons.
