Bombshell: FBI not the only agency to get Americans to sign away their 2A rights

A secretive scheme that the FBI used on at least a dozen occasions to get Americans to self-report themselves as prohibited persons to the National Instant Check System was more widespread than originally thought, based on new documents obtained by Gun Owners of America.

The Second Amendment organization filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking documentation about the form used by the FBI back in 2020, after the form’s existence was first reported on by reporter John Crump.

At the time the FOIA request was filed, there was no evidence that the form had actually been used, but GOA sought any information regarding individuals who had declared themselves to be a danger to themselves or others or lacking the “mental capacity to adequately contract or manage” their affairs.
