Proof FBI’s NICS Firearms-Background-Check is Gathering Our Private Info for INTERPOL, iStock-uzenzen 1175397475
WASHINGTON, D.C. –-(Ammoland.com)- Gun Owners of America has obtained and supplied AmmoLand News with copies of the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) User Manual. [embedded and linked below]
The first copy of the User Manual was obtained from a GOA’s initiated Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the FBI. The law enforcement agency heavily redacted the document. Certain information is exempt from FOIA requests. If an agency decides the information is exempt, they will blackout that section of the supplied document. Disputing what the government agencies can redact from public view tends to end up in courts, and fighting them is a drawn-out and time-consuming process.
Roy Exum: Our Huge American Crisis Wednesday, April 28, 2021 - by Roy Exum

During just one week last month, March 15th through March 21
st, our FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System had 1,218,002 requests for clearance to sell individuals firearms. Yes, you read it right: 1.2 mm in just seven days. But to better understand America’s fears, our keen yearning for safety, and a frightening chasm between conservatives and liberals fueled by thoughtless politicians and sightless “progressives,” look at our nation’s first quarter.
In January we have evidence to believe that about 4 million guns were bought legally in the United States. In February, with just 28 days, there were 3.4 mm, and the month’s total in March according to the FBI system – was 4.7 mm.

A New Hampshire House committee took up a Senate-backed plan aimed at blunting the effects of any executive order issued by President Biden dealing with guns.
As drafted, the bill would prohibit any state resources from being used to enforce or assist federal authorities in enforcing any executive order on guns.
While supporters of tightening gun policies urged the committee to reject the bill, gun rights advocates like JR Hoell, of the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, said the Senate bill didn t go far enough. We would ask that you adopt an amendment that addresses all of the following: congressional actions, executive orders, and ATF rules. And that there be penalties for local and state officials who choose to follow federal rule over state law, Hoell said.

Back in March House Bill 398 was filed in North Carolina. The bill would repeal the requirement that someone must first obtain a permit prior to purchasing a handgun, a system put in place in North Carolina in the bad old days of the Jim Crow era to ensure that only the “right kind” of folks (i.e. the white kind) could legally get a gun. It’s the type of discriminatory and inequitable system that the Left should be railing against, but the anti-gun crowd doesn’t want to give it up.
More and more jurisdictions are coming to the realization that not only are purchase permits doing nothing to curb crime, they are also redundant. Since the inception of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), it has mooted the need for purchase permits in any state. These permits are just bureaucratic roadblocks placed in front of law abiding citizens.
First-time gun owners, young and old from across the country, are helping to push record levels of gun sales for what looks like the second year in a row.
