Due process
In Cali, they’d just as soon not have it:
Under proposals endorsed by the state Judicial Council, judges and police would enforce a provision contained in every domestic violence restraining order that prohibits the target of the order from possessing firearms or ammunition. Judges issue the restraining orders to require the abusers to stay away from their victims.
No proof needed just an accusation.

Can they say “you have no rights in the People’s Republik of Kaliforniastan” any louder?
BTW, this did happen to my brother when he got divorced in Kaifornia 3 years ago. His ex-wife claimed she was afraid he’d shoot her so the cops confiscated his guns with a court order. He finally got them back about a year ago, just before he moved to Oklahoma.

unfortunately that is SOP in most states, not just Ca.

I see there is no provision for giving them to a friend. And then there is the provision of enforcing the order without giving notice to the defandant.

It’s been like that for a long time. If someone files a restraining order against you for selling their organs to aliens, you are required to disarm even before a judge determines the validity of the charge.
