House Democrats vetoed a resolution demanding Attorney General Merrick Garland turn over records related to the FBI's usage of previously secret forms that waived away the gun rights of Americans.
In October, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and over a dozen GOP members of Congress urged Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray to provide evidence that the FBI has stopped stripping people's gun rights with the forms. However, a further attempt to obtain evidence by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) was quashed on Wednesday afternoon by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.
The resolution states that Garland would be asked to provide the House "no later than 14 days" after its passage with "a complete and unredacted form" and "a copy of any documents, records, reports, memos, correspondence, or other communication either generated or received by the office of the Attorney General that refers to information" on the forms.
In addition, Garland would be asked to provide information on "how the determination to distribute the forms was made" as well as the prior "reasoning for distributing the forms."
Clyde, who introduced the resolution in November, told the Washington Examiner that Judiciary Committee Democrats have "reaffirmed their refusal to conduct proper oversight and doubled down on their disdain" for the Second Amendment.
"We desperately need this information to fully uncover the lengths to which the FBI went to circumvent the Constitution, as well as to ensure unelected, anti-gun bureaucrats do not further infringe on Americans constitutional right to keep and bear arms," said Clyde, a member of the House Oversight Committee. "I am committed to ensuring we have answers, transparency, and justice."

Of course they would.
Who would expect them to do anything less?
The DOJ/FBI now form a Gestapo/Stassi axis organized and funded by our own tax dollars, which now destroys and strips away constitutional rights: free speech, 2nd amendment, and so on.
If they want a fight, one is coming.
Go after them again in 3 1/2 weeks.
Typical communist antics to screw over the wee, po’ folks.
Attorney General Merrick Garland...... “F’k the American citizens rights!!
AG Garland - the tree is getting dry
I have no idea what “forms” this article is talking about. A little background would have been nice.
Agreed. I did a little digging since I was obviously ignorant. All I could find before leaving for an appt.:
FBI secretly pressured Americans into signing away gun rights
But I'm confused as to why they need to extract the forms from DOJ/FBI if GOA already secured the forms in their litigation...
After what happened in my state (ongoing, Measure 114), nothing surprises me anymore.
Golly. I wonder why there is so much distrust of the Stasi, I mean FBI?
