So far that did not even cause a whimper from the media and nobody tried to use a national emergency to take guns.

Presidents have done this dozens of times over the years.

Only with Trump is there an uproar from the Democrat politicians, the media, and of course the low-information crowd.
Any attempt by congress to take all guns away from citizens would start a riot. Congress is within it's rights to limit the type of guns allowed by citizens.

Just educating you on the American Constitution and how it is amended.
