If the US government decides it's a good idea to follow Australia's lead and ban guns, at what point do citizens use their guns to shut that nonsense down?

I think the real question is "what percentage of US citizens will actively resist". My guess is that it will be a very small percentage, but that it will be enough to make any confiscation effort extremely unpleasant for the government.

I agree. What I think what would most likely happen is most gun owning Americans will first attempt to just quietly secret their guns away in their homes. The question would next be, how will the government react to people refusing to turn in their weapons. The door to door thing will be the only option left for the government. That is when I think we will see what happens next.

Who are they going to send door to door to take away guns?
My local PD won't do it.... Yes.. I asked them.
Texas National Guard? Who are you kidding?
There are not enough FBI/Federal agents to get the job done and I expect a fair number (most, hopefully) of them would tell Uncle Alzheimer to pound sand.

I wish I had your confidence in what your local PD "SAYS" to you. Law enforcement is not honorable when it comes to sacrificing their pensions or salaries. History has shone police will take their orders from their boss and execute. They don't see civilians as their bosses. I hope you are right and other PD's would refuse to do the same. I don't think most local PD's would do it because they don't have the manpower. The most likely thing I suspect would be a newly installed department of Federal law enforcement.
