This reminds me of the account of the Greensburg gun confiscations after the Kansas city had a massive tornado blow through town. http://tinyurl.com/cpb7m9 The authorities forced an evacuation, without martial law, and the townmembers returned to find all their guns broken or confiscated.
One significant distinction between your example and the ranking in the post is that the small arms destruction program in the United States is focused on military weapons, not civilian weapons.
