"FBI admits unauthorized program against American gun owners," attorney and policy analyst Paloma Capanna charged in an update on Robinson vs. Sessions, a lawsuit on civil rights violations resulting from matches on the "No-Fly List."
"The US DOJ Attorneys admitted in their Answering Brief that
the FBI screens 'all' Americans seeking to lawfully purchase a firearm
against the Terrorist Screening Database ("TSDB") upon submission of
the ATF Form 4473," Paloma wrote, quoting:
Back in 2015 then-Director
James Comey testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and made
it sound like an exception where FBI was "alerted" and "notified."
Additionally, in his exchange with Sen. Chuck Grassley, he noted "There
are a variety of things that we do when we are notified that someone on
our known or suspected terrorist database is attempting to buy a
firearm," up to and including stopping the transaction, placing a
suspect under surveillance, or arrest.
We've discussed the
danger of using such lists, developed in secret from undisclosed
sources of unknown (to the public) reliability. We've also seen how
flight denials can be based on mistakes, as happened to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.
How many Americans have such resources and connections to be able to
expeditiously clear matters up? We've also seen serious National Instant
Check System flaws, and how "Virtually all of those denied purchasing a gun are false positives."
We've seen Joint Terrorism Task Force triggers
as bafflingly all-encompassing as defending the Constitution,
supporting liberty candidates and ideals, sporting such apparel or
bumper stickers, paying in cash, shaving your beard, and traveling an
"illogical" distance to a gun-related event. We've seen the sorry state
of bureaucratic overreach and infringements devolve into the even more
ridiculous, as with the Pennsylvania man placed on a watch list after
regularly taking a giant inflatable pink pig to political rallies.
Those
demanding gun purchases be halted because of secret lists of unknown
accuracy, administered by faceless bureaucrats with unknown sympathies
and motives, are essentially advocating for a police state, where
fundamental rights can be denied without due process. And face it-if
you were a terrorist, and were further inclined to buy a gun "legally,"
wouldn't a NICS denial be a pretty good indication that you've been
made, and allow you to evade and respond with countermeasures?
