HB 1683 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the "Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act"

HB 1683, titled the "Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act," prohibits Missouri state agencies, law enforcement, and political subdivisions from enforcing any federal or state "red flag law" that would seize firearms from residents, except in specific cases like individuals in custody after dangerous felony charges. The bill bans state use of funds to enforce such laws, blocks enforcement of federal orders related to firearm seizure within Missouri, and creates legal liability for officials who attempt to enforce these laws, including $50,000 penalties per violation. It explicitly allows firearm seizures as evidence during investigations but prohibits enforcement of laws requiring surrender of firearms based on temporary or permanent seizure orders. The bill directly affects Missouri residents by preventing state authorities from complying with red flag law enforcement actions targeting their firearm ownership.
