The guns are already out there.
They are not going to go door to door confiscating guns, it's just completely impractical and unrealistic.
Not to mention it would put many officers unnecessarily at risk of harm.
For any type of confiscation to work, it would take a SWAT team going into every home. They would be at it from sun up to sun down, every day for YEARS.
The country is entirely too broke to pay the police the over-time. You think the cops are going to participate in that kind of nonsense for free?
Not going to happen.

You ever notice they just enact laws without putting it to vote of the people anymore? They do that of seeming necessity, when there has been a (handwringing) tragedy. That way you see, they can get it passed because well, it's an emergency. Something must be done.

Why? You can still walk into any gun shop (assuming they have stock on the shelves) and legally purchase high capacity magazines right now (use your brain and pay in cash, please) and walk out without any issues. The feds can pass whatever laws they wish, all that ultimately impacts is whether you can purchase something conveniently at a reasonable cost or be forced to do some searching and pay quite a bit more in whatever alleyway you end up making the deal in. Think... get what you think you'll want or need today, purchase only from private parties anything which currently generates a paper trail from a dealer, and pay only in cash for everything (including ammo, reloading supplies, and accessories).
As to the OP, the NRA is easily overwhelmed... its the actual firearm owners and freedom lovers in the USA which the WH doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against.
