That does happen.

Also - once someone obtains an order of protection, shouldn't the person involved be required to turn over all fire arms?

They are required by federal and state laws to dispose of firearms, but only a couple of states (CT and WA) have processes for actively disarming them.

DU Rec for interesting topic for discussion.
