A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Gun Owners of America (GOA) secured release of information surrounding a form which was used by the FBI in an effort to secure forfeiture of Second Amendment rights.
Ammoland.com warned of the FBI effort in 2019, after GOA discovered the “NICS Indices Self-Submission Form” in December 2019.
The form gave Americans the opportunity to “voluntarily” give up their Second Amendment rights, allowing no means by which the forfeited rights could be resecured.
GOA filed a FOIA suit for information related to the form and its use by the FBI.
On September 6, 2022, the Daily Caller reported that GOA’s FOIA request revealed that the FBI actually took the form to the homes of some Americans, presenting those Americans with the option of giving up their Second Amendment rights:
The forms were presented by the FBI to people at their homes and in other undisclosed locations, according to bureau documents unearthed through the Freedom of Information Act by the firearm rights group GOA…At least 15 people between 2016 and 2019 signed the secret forms, which ask signatories to declare themselves as either a “danger” to themselves or others or lacking “mental capacity adequately to contract or manage” their lives.

” give up their Second Amendment rights”
Government can’t grant or take away natural rights.
declare themselves as either a “danger” to themselves or others or lacking “mental capacity adequately to contract or manage” their lives.
well are they?
nobody in their right mid would sign such a thing...
The next step won’t be voluntary.
And those who refuse to sign will get put on list of suspected “white supremacists”.
If branDUHn would just authorize a nationwide buy back...........
If you are on here (FR), you’ve already made the list.
There is no enumerated power given the federal to even offer this “opportunity”.
Like a vasectomy, in a way.
So who was directing the FBI during the Trump presidency? Apparently neither Barr or Sessions.
Is there a binding form that you can sign to give up your right to free speech or exercise of religion?
Assuming there is NOT an expiration date on these forms?
The government didn’t give us these rights, and does not have the right to take them away. The amendments are a declaration of what already existed.
Next they’ll be forcing us to sign a form giving up our right to live.
Government is naked power and will kill you if it feels like it. The only thing protecting one's natural rights is a willingness on the part of the Free to exercise political force or violence against those who would try to deny those rights.
It has always been thus.
Zactly! One cannot forfeit ones rights. One can however choose not to exercise them.
You also “Cannot be compelled” to give up rights as a condition of obtaining a license or permit, employment, etc.
But that is very common.
Now tell me that ATF and FBI are not political.
They probably have a form for voluntary slavery.
THIS gov’mt thinks it can.
