No one, not the secerate service, FBI, State police, military, bla bla bla, and so on and so forth and take you weapon for any reason without probable cause that you have commited a crime with them, are going to commit a crime, or are illigally in posession of those weapons. Not only would that be an illigal seizure, but it would also be a violation of the 9th amendment too.

I am law enforcement, and I'd rather be told that I'm fired then take a weapon from a person that believe is within their rights and is posing no threat to others. At least then I could join the "come and get them" Club.
