Does the penalty for the traitors involve revoking gun privileges?

Can some of these people have their guns taken away?

Please say it's true

If that happens, then the convict has to surrender their firearms to LE or they can dispose of them by giving them to family, but that depends on the Stated Jurisdiction on firearms.

In California (I believe) you can only transfer firearms from spouse to spouse or from Parent - Adult offspring (vis versa).
