Every time you buy a gun, you have to pass your info through the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) before you can take home your new little boating accident.
A reported 9 out of 10 failures to pass said background check in the notoriously inefficient government system are errors that keep lawful citizens from obtaining a weapon.
Despite that, a new rule will require federal firearms licensees (FFL) to provide the home addresses of customers who fail a background check to authorities.
Here's the deets from a reportedly leaked email, per Gun Owners of America:
Collection of Buyer's Address — The NICS Denial Notification Act of 2022 requires the FBI's NICS Section to notify state, local, or tribal law enforcement of all FBI NICS denied transactions within 24 hours. The FBI must provide notification to law enforcement based upon the location of the FFL and if different, the purchaser's address. To support the determination of what local agency should receive the notification, FFLs will be required to provide the buyer's complete address to NICS as recorded on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Form 4473 when transactions are denied or delayed. The address information will be required before the status can be provided or retrieved either by the NICS contracted call center or via the NICS E-Check.
More from Gun Owners of America:
This change would require that an investigation be launched into every background check denial, even though nine times out of 10, the NICS system has falsely denied law-abiding citizens from exercising their rights.
This is a significant change to the system, as, before the passage of the NICS denial notification act, dealers were only required to provide the state of residence of a customer. Now they will have to provide the transferee's full address after the NICS system processes the background check in the event of a delay or denial.
Imagine what you could do by tweaking the system just a little bit to, say, purposely fail random citizens on a background check to give the ATF an excuse to kick down their door and shoot their dog.
In theory, it could easily allow the federal government to create a database on gun owners that gives them valid excuse to randomly search people's property.
And since the federal government is busy doing things like locking up elderly Christians for blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic for a few hours and recruiting unstable people to kidnap governors to advance political narratives, call me... skeptical that it's just a theory.
Especially since, you know, they openly want to eliminate the Second Amendment that protects the First Amendment.
GOA notes that this lines up with the NICS Denial notification act, which passed earlier this year, which "deputize[s] your local police as ATF agents" and "fund[s] criminal investigations into mistaken NICS denials of law-abiding citizens."
"If the national instant criminal background check system…provides notice… that" a transferee is prohibited person then the DOJ shall "report to the local law enforcement [and] the State or Tribe of residence of the person — … within 24 hours"
I know we've said it before, but you might want to stock up on blasters and have some tragic boating accidents at random locations before it's too late, because your government has labeled anyone who opposes the political party in charge a domestic terrorist and knows the only way to silence them for good is to disarm them.
Of course, if you fail the NICS check, it might already be too late.
See you in the gulags, comrades!
