Shortly thereafter, show up at his doorstep (with a SWAT team as backup) and order him to turn over his property.

What would be the response to a sad story about that "unfortunate boating accident last summer?"

The (former) gun-owner has committed no crime - he has merely "lost" his (until then legal) firearms (and how can you be expected to "prove" that something has been lost?).

Could a judge legally issue a search warrant, even though no crime has been committed?
