(a) At the time of arraignment, the court shall order a defendant who is under indictment for, or who has waived indictment for, or who has been bound over to the circuit court for a felony, or any crime of violence, or an illegal sale of any drug, to dispose of all firearms and ammunition within the defendant's possession in a manner in compliance with the provisions of chapter 134 and shall inform the defendant of the provisions of section 134-7(b) and section 134-12.5. The defendant shall comply with an order issued pursuant to this section within forty-eight hours of the issuance of such order.

(b) The court shall immediately notify the chief of police of the county where the defendant resides that the defendant has been ordered to voluntarily surrender all firearms and ammunition to the chief of police or dispose of all firearms and ammunition within the defendant's possession.
