So You Wanted More Background Checks for Guns, Eh? The Feds Have Now Used the NICS System to Maintain an Illegal Registry of Gun Owners

Subsequent the Sandy Hook adventure, not only did Barack Obama issue 23 executive actions which were unconstitutional (given the Second Amendment’s protections of the people’s rights from infringements by government), but additionally says such as New York and Connecticut stepped in with pretended legislation to compel gun owners to register their firearms. Though there are laws against the federal government keeping a registry of gun owners, it seems that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is being utilized to produce a national registry, and the feds have essentially confessed openly in news reports that they have been breaking those laws.
In accordance with the law that restricts the government from retaining any data on the gun owner and the firearm they are buying unless they are in fact prohibited by law, the law reads:
“The NICS, including the NICS Audit Log, may not be used by any Department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to establish any system for the registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions or dispositions, except with respect to persons prohibited from receiving a firearm by 18 U.S.C. 922(g) or (n) or by state law. The NICS Audit Log will be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to detect any possible misuse of the NICS data.”
Therefore, the only people who this data would be retained on are those who are forbidden from owning a gun.
Nevertheless, in a recent Washington Post write-up, the Government Accounting Office was cited with the following details:
“Between 2004 and 2014, suspected terrorists attempted to purchase guns from American dealers at least 2,233 times. And in 2,043 of those cases — 91 percent of the time — they succeeded.”
The good news is, Zero Hedge picked up on what is really taking place here and this links right in with the No-Fly No-Buy proposition of the Obama administration.
Upon first reading, many Americans might be glad the authorities are keeping an eye on those potential terrorists in our midst. Of course, the facts are a little different. The term “suspected terrorists” in this case means somebody on the combined terrorist watch-list. These are people that may have never been convicted or even charged with a crime. The list has expanded so much that there are around 700,000 names on the list. They include a number of journalists, former Department of Justice ethics adviser Jesselyn Radack, Nelson Mandela, and the list of non-terrorists and false positives goes on forever. Known nonviolent activists have been added to the list because there is no real justification required to be placed on it, only a “reasonable suspicion.”
Even more disturbing is that to make the matches, the government must retain records on everyone, or at least have every purchase in a supposedly confidential system scanned. That data is being shared within the government, contrary to federal law. When the FBI released its figures, it went as far as saying that 2,000 known or suspected terrorists bought a pistol, sports rifle, or assault weapon. This means they are collecting information about the types of purchases as well. Just matching a name to a list would not be enough to come up with accurate data. This means the NICS program, which was promised to be free from other agencies, is sharing personal data such as name, date of birth, address, and social security number.
To be very clear, the NICS system is retaining records of legal purchases, it is sharing that information with other agencies, it is retaining and sharing information containing enough detail to match the purchaser to a government created list, and now the US government is publicizing the fact that it is doing this even though it is a violation of federal law.
Based on law, the only individuals that data should be retained on are those who are in fact forbidden from owning a gun, not those “suspected” of being terrorists.
Nevertheless, as you can observe, our government is breaking the law and they have their ideas set on gun owners and their guns. This is the motive Obama is pushing the No-fly No-Buy absurdity. It is a backdoor way to tag you a suspected terrorist without any evidence. They just point out you are and you are guilty until confirmed innocent in violation of the Fifth Amendment and then they will abuse your rights protected under the Second Amendment as a end result. Incidentally, make sure your governor certainly is not engaged in this little charade.
This is exactly why I warned about any enhancement in any government, whether it be background checks, armed school law enforcement or mental health, because all it does is enhance the authoritarian hand of government.
Keep in mind, registration leads to confiscation, and confiscation leads to… well, have a read. You have been notified!

Tennesse is an exception to the rule. When the TBI runs the brackground check, both the buyer and the firearm are checked. But in Tennessee the buyer and the firearm are checked seperate thru the NICS system, therefore the weapon and the buyer cannot be linked together. In 1998 the Tennessee Governor was worried the Feds would build such a data base, so he set the Tennessee Background system up in a matter where no data base could be kept on Tennessee citizens “to protect their ability to purchase firearms and the purchase be private from Federal lists”. The Feds know that person purchased a weapon, but is never able to have details of the weapon.
The cool thing is that 24 hours after the purchase is approved, the State of Tennessee deletes the record from the computors. So in the end only the dealer and the buyer knows anything….
