94. The California Department of Justice ordered several thousand people to surrender rifles
SKS rifles with detachable magazines.

The DoJ had allowed people to register them as grandfathered "assault weapons" after the 1999 statewide ban. Then a court decision said the DoJ had not acted propererly, so the DoJ sent letters to owners demanding that the rifles be turned in to police, deactivated, or sold out of state.

Of course they have kind of a problem enforcing it, but they did in fact order a confiscation.
