U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Michigan law requires police and sheriff departments to turn confiscated firearms over to the state police. The state publishes a list of firearms each month that have not been claimed.
From the michigan.gov website:
The information below identifies firearm(s) confiscated by a Michigan law enforcement agency and turned over to the Michigan State Police (MSP) pursuant to MCL 28.434 and MCL 750.239.
List of Weapons to be Destroyed:
List of weapons to be destroyed October 2022 (public notice date 9-1-2022)(embeded below).
If you are claiming ownership of any firearm(s) listed, please write or call within thirty (30) days of the date of public notice. In addition to your ownership claim, you must be authorized to possess firearms.
If no valid ownership claim is received by MSP within thirty (30) days of the date of public notice, the firearm(s) listed above will be destroyed.
Firearm(s) listed above are not for sale.
The firearms are listed for 30 days so owners can identify them and apply to have them returned.
If no one claims the firearms, they are destroyed. Michigan law does not require they be destroyed. The destruction of firearms has become a wasteful tradition.
The monthly lists contain the serial numbers (or lack of serial numbers) of the confiscated firearms. Therefore, the lists provide a way to determine how many firearms are confiscated without serial numbers. Many firearms without serial numbers are unlikely to be returned to owners, as it would be difficult to prove ownership.

It is theme distributed to a compliant, "progressive" media as a way to drum up support for more restrictions the right to keep and bear arms.
I look, in vain
Where is Deetroit? Where are the great American auto manufacturers?
They are gone, away from Michigan
Good Time Charlie’s got the blues...
I heard there were ghost guns in Casper Wyoming.
That list brings tears to my eyes.
All being destroyed for naught but bureaucratic inertia and political correctness.
A Colt Woodsman is near the top of the list.
Sell them and make a profit or destroy them and let the mfgrs
produce new ones at much higher cost. Take them overseas or
south of the border to Mexico.
Some question just how great those makers were after WW2.... :P
When ghost guns are outlawed....only ghosts will have them.
Touche’!
Is this particular “ghost gun” one that was manufactured privately and never given a serial number, or is it one that was serialized by a manufacturer and later had the serial number obliterated? I have seen news stories that include the latter category in reporting numbers of “ghost guns” to make it appear that there are many more privately-made guns than there really are.
In the list of firearms to be destroyed in October, there are 555 total firearms. Of those, there are 33 without serial numbers or 6 percent. of the 33 without serial numbers, 26 were manufactured without serial numbers before serial numbers were required by federal law. Six had their serial numbers removed. One was a homemade firearm, sometimes called a “ghost gun”. It was a PF94OC.
Is the “ghost gun” used by ghosts, or it it used to shoot ghosts?
If it’s a ghost on ghost crime, people of color are least affected, right?
Thanks. Obviously, I didn’t read the article.
A fine FR tradition. Dean’s stuff is worth clicking on the source material.
There are plenty of non ghost guns available in chicago every weekend. They are used to create ghosts with the democrat party complicit in it.
It would be a shame to destroy that original Walker Dragoon pistol.
