AFAIK, the amendment only prohibits the expenditure of federal funds for the purpose of confiscating firearms. It doesn't do a thing to stop state or local forces, including non-federalized National Guard troops from doing so. If they had really wanted to stomp down on the practice, they could have prohibited "any entity receiving federal funds" from confiscating them, which would had stopped damn near everybody on the planet.
