Are these the people whom the gun-rights-haters still insist "aren't going to take your guns away"?

California gun confiscation law takes effect Jan. 1

REDDING, Calif. - A new California law takes effect January 1 that allows legally-owned guns to be confiscated if family or friends believe the owner is a threat to themselves or others.
It's called AB-1014 and it comes after the mass shooting in May 2014 that claimed six lives in Isla Vista, California.
The new law will allow family members who believe someone may be violent to apply for a "Gun Violence Restraining Order."
The law isn't sitting well with gun owners. "I don't think it's a good law," said Ray Abernathy, a longtime Redding Gun Club member. Abernathy said the law has good intentions, but he's worried about people taking advantage of it. He believes people who are irritated will use the law against other family members.
With AB-1014, a family member only has to have a gut feeling to petition for a temporary restraining order. For the process to start, a judge has to sign off on the order.
