Atomwaffen is literally a terrorist organisation.
Then the city of Seattle can go to the courts and file for the corresponding court order from a judge to confiscate this guy's guns. This way, a qualified person, namely a judge, will look at the case and decide whether the charges brought against this guy by the city warrant a step as drastic as depriving him of a constitutional right. And after the confiscation, the guy can formally appeal this decision and potentially get it reviewed by a higher court before the case is closed once and for all.
Again: the problem is not that the wrong person's guns were seized, the problem is that the confiscation happened in gross neglect of due process and would set a really dangerous precedent. A precedent which could also be exploited to violate the constitutional rights of all sorts of groups, including the good guys.
