Joe Elliott:
Question 1: If a citizen has a permit to carry a firearm and is found by Federal officers to be carrying a firearm, do they have the right to take the gun away and shoot the citizen?
Question 2: If so, is this in line with the Second Amendment?
It should be noted that one is either a strong defender of the Second Amendment, or one is not. One cannot sometimes support the Second Amendment, but at other times not, and be considered a strong defender of the Second Amendment.

Re: #1, I would think it would depend on whether or not the person was brandishing the firearm and/or actually pointing it at the Federal officers.
Don't you?
Lance Payette:
Kind of an interesting article from the New Yorker concerning The Donald's logorrhea ("excessive and often incoherent talkativeness"):
https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/its-time-to-talk-about-donald-trumps-logorrhea
"Amid all the coverage marking the first anniversary of his return to the White House, one story—which did not get the attention it deserved—stood out for me: a Times analysis of how much more the President has been talking and talking and talking. The findings? One million nine hundred and seventy-seven thousand six hundred and nine words in the Presidential appearances, as of January 20th—an increase of two hundred and forty-five per cent compared with the first year of Trump’s first term in office, back in 2017."
I think any objective observer has to be "just a bit" concerned.

As we consistently see with respect to this individual, it is not mentioned/skipped over that he had NO ID on him. An alleged "peaceful protester" carrying a semi-automatic weapon with an additional 2 loaded clips and NO ID on him? How about we get real here? We'll see if they are able to Zoom in on the gun amidst that scrum, but you can hear someone Yelling, "Gun, Gun....".
