Hundreds of Guns Confiscated Without Due Process

The numbers are in — and they should alarm every freedom-loving Michigander.

According to new reporting, Michigan’s so-called “Red Flag” gun confiscation law was used hundreds of times in 2025 alone to seize firearms from citizens across the state.

Let that sink in.

Hundreds of gun owners had their firearms taken by government order — without being convicted of a crime.

And the details are even worse.

Nearly 90 percent of these confiscation orders were issued ex parte — meaning the accused gun owner wasn’t even given the chance to defend themselves before their rights were violated.

Even more telling, only 7.2 percent of these cases led to criminal charges.

That means in the overwhelming majority of cases, firearms were confiscated even though no crime was ever charged.

That’s not due process.

That’s flagrant government abuse.

When anti-gun Democrats forced this law into place in 2023, gun owners warned exactly what would happen: a system where accusations come first and constitutional rights come second.

And for the second year in a row, the data proves that.

Judges are signing off on confiscation orders across the state, allowing police to show up at someone’s home and seize their legally owned firearms based on a claim that they might be dangerous.

No trial.

No conviction.

Often no warning.

There’s even been reports of law enforcement using “Red Flag” orders to disarm the victims of crime! What!

That’s why Great Lakes Gun Rights is leading the charge to repeal Michigan’s Red Flag gun confiscation law entirely.

Legislation has already been introduced as House Bills 4138-4140 in Lansing to repeal this dangerous scheme — but politicians will only act if they feel overwhelming pressure from grassroots gun owners like you.

Make no mistake: the gun control lobby will point to these numbers as proof the law is “working.”

Their claims would be a hilarious joke if it weren’t for the fact that hundreds of citizens are having their rights flagrantly violated.

Confiscating firearms from citizens without due process isn’t justice — it’s a direct assault on the constitutional protections every American is supposed to enjoy.

Michigan gun owners must draw a line.

And it starts by making it crystal clear that Red Flag gun confiscation has no place in a free state.
