Aside from the 2nd Amendment issue, I wonder if it also poses a property rights issue for the estate of the deceased since it's still an asset with value belonging to the estate. I'm also wondering how this would play out if a trust for the deceased's firearms were established prior to his/her death with the deceased as a beneficiary. Then what happens?
The cannot confiscate legally owned property, it would be part of the estate.
That's what I would argue as the administrator of the estate, that it's an asset with value that belongs to the estate and cannot be seized without due process. But I'm not an estate or firearms law expert so I don't know.

Paraphrasing Teddy Roosevelt, there's one answer to Domestic Enemies of the Constitution "and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle."
