They have already committed a criminal act by staying in the country illegally, yet a number of the illegal aliens attempted to compound their transgressions by buying guns. According to a new report of background checks, the FBI has rejected a record number of illegal immigrants trying to purchase guns this year.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System said that it has turned away 7,836,600 attempted gun purchases from “illegal/unlawful alien” this year. The record covers the 2018 period until November, which means it still did not include data for December. Christmas purchases of guns are always typically high.
The number of gun purchases being attempted by illegals has seen a rise in recent years. In 2017, it recorded 7.3 million. 2016 saw 7 million rejections, while 2015 recorded 6.6 million gun purchase rejections for the illegals.
Illegal immigrants also rank at the top of those on the FBI’s “prohibited category” for gun purchases, followed by those with “adjudicated mental health”, those “convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year or a misdemeanor punishable by more than two years”, “state prohibitor” and those with “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence conviction.”

Wheres the dems ripping this illegal demographic trying to buy guns?
These wonderful, lawful people?
Very depressing.
Why can't they use numbers correctly? Are they stupid, or are they dishonest?
They wanted these transactions to go through so they could be tracked.
Say WHAT! And how many were arrested and prosecuted/deported?
Crickets
And not one of them was deported.
Thanks bitt.
I hope they were deported!
Well at least they’re not trying to vote. /S
“According to a new report of background checks, the FBI has rejected a record number of illegal immigrants trying to purchase guns this year.”
Some puke Obama judge will find this unconstitutional.
The BATF&E is pissed.
They wanted these transactions to go through so they could be tracked.

Sad but true
Yes.
Just buying the guns that Americans won’t.
But according to the Democrats there are only 10 million illegal immigrants in the country and the number has been going down. So does every man, woman and man illegal immigrant try to buy a gun.
8 million. Now that’s an army.
Did my part.
When I read a headline like this, the first thing I think is, “Really?” and then I go looking for the source data, and it usually doesn’t support the headline, any more than this does. It’s frustrating. People say they don’t trust the press, but they believe nonsense like this.
“I hope they were deported!”
Nope, they’re still here voting democrat. No doubt multiple times.
