Gun Owners of America uncovered a disturbing secret plot…

John,


As if you needed another reason to distrust the FBI…


…Gun Owners of America has uncovered that the FBI has apparently been secretly
pressuring Americans to sign a form which forces them to surrender their Second
Amendment rights.


I recently wrote an op-ed for the Daily Caller to bring national attention to
this deeply troubling report that MUST be investigated by Congress.


Now I need YOUR help to call on the House and Senate to immediately launch an
investigation into this latest abuse of power by the FBI.


Please add your name to our pre-written letter to urge your Representative and
Senators to hold the FBI accountable for this abuse of power.

The FBI was able to get away with this dystopian attack on innocent
Americans’ rights by using the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS).


The FBI’s NICS system is supposed to screen out people who are prohibited
from purchasing a firearm based on conviction records and adjudicated mental
health issues — although it does this job very poorly.


That’s why the FBI has attempted to expand its dragnet to locate and disarm
Americans before they can commit a crime, as was done in the movieMinority
Report. Thankfully, Gun Owners of America found out about this insidious plot.


Beginning in 2019, a copy of a secret form was leaked to GOA, which prompted
us to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the FBI.


The FBI tried to block our investigation, so we were forced to sue for
compliance with our requests.


What we ended up learning was chilling: the FBI had created a “Self-Indices
Form” that pressured citizenssuspected by federal agents of having mental
disorders or exhibiting violent behavior toadd themselves into the NICS system,
thereby disqualifying themselves from ever owning a firearm.


In some instances, FBI agents showed up at citizens’ homes to get them to sign
away their God-given right to keep and bear arms.


The federal government will assure you that these citizens “voluntarily”
surrendered their Second Amendment rights…


…But when a group of armed agents of the federal government come banging on
your door to encourage you to sign a document, is it really “voluntary?”


As Robert Olson, who serves as outside counsel for GOA, said, “we’re into a
pre-crime, Minority Report type of world where the FBI believes it can take
constitutional rights away from anyone it thinks possibly might pose a threat
in the future.”


This tyrannical Minority Report style of “justice” is not foreign to the
federal government.


Many GOA members will recall that Biden’s first nominee for ATF Director,
David Chipman, said that citizens who fail background checks to purchase guns
would establish the “perfect opportunity to arrest people BEFORE committing
crimes.”


Of course, the FBI’s NICS system is so flawed that 95% of initial denials are
“false positives.” This means the FBI is mostly stopping people who should
never be denied. So arresting good people, as David Chipman desires, would only
add insult to injury!


That’s why we’re also calling on Congress to REPEAL the underlying NICS that
enabled this gross abuse of power to take root in the first place.


GOA has a record of opposing the NICS since its inception, because we always
knew that such a system is ripe for abuse.


With the FBI’s corruption currently in the national spotlight, NOW is the
time to get Congress to hold investigations and hold all guilty parties
accountable.


So please, add your name to our pre-written letter to urge your
Representative and Senators to investigate the FBI – and to REPEAL the NICS
that enabled FBI agents to coerce citizens into surrendering their Second
Amendment rights. <[link removed]>
