Docs: FBI Pressured Americans To Sign Away Their Gun Rights Without A Court Hearing

Amid a national crisis of confidence in the Federal Bureau of Investigation following years of revelations the agency has repeatedly abused its powers to rig elections for Democrats, newly public documents display yet another FBI abuse of power.

Documents obtained by Daily Caller reporter Gabe Kaminsky indicate the FBI has secretly pressured an unknown number of Americans to sign away their constitutional right to bear arms without being convicted of any crime in a regular court of law, another constitutional right.

The existence of a form that FBI employees have reportedly pressured Americans to sign after appearing at their doors was uncovered after a legal battle to get the FBI to answer an open records request from Gun Owners of America (GOA).

“The people targeted with these forms are … not otherwise ‘prohibited persons’ and have not committed any actual crime with which they can be charged,” Robert Olson, GOA’s counsel, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. The FBI claims it discontinued the use of the form in 2019, but the obtained records show the FBI used the form to deprive American citizens of their natural rights outside the constitutional mechanism of a proper trial in U.S. courts at least 15 times.

“The FBI declined to identify any statutory justification for the forms,” Kaminsky writes.

Several of those the FBI pressured into signing the form were investigated after being reported as making threats of violence on social media.

The Agents of the FBI said, “Sign here or we will shoot you full of holes.” A/L/A Ruby Ridge and Mount Carmel. The FBI are a murdering bunch of inities masquerading as human beings.

How can anyone “relinquish” a Constituonally protected right?

The form has you consenting to be put on NICS rejection list

https://dailycaller.com/2022/09/07/opinion-heres-yet-another-reason-why-americans-should-be-deeply-concerned-about-the-fbi-pratt/

What we have learned, specifically, is that the FBI created a “Self-Indices Form” that allows individuals to add themselves to the NICS Indices, thereby ensuring that they would fail a background check and be unable to purchase a firearm. At this point in our investigation, it remains unclear if this policy has any means for one to reverse a previous decision to “self-disqualify.”

I see. So it was a deal for them to avoid being prosecuted. More details of each case would have added clarity.

How can inalienable rights be alienated? Even if one is coerced in signing a form?

Next:

This is a consent form we want you to sign, or we will arrest your whole family and put them in jail for life.

It is a consent in writing for your own execution by firing squad.

Or you can just sign this confession to committing acts of sedition with the MAGA movement.

The FIB must be dismantled from the top down and divided up into smaller groups with less power and a more tightly defined mission; eg, kidnapping, bank robbery, etc.

Easy. They add you to the background check system so you come as ‘denied’ any time you try to buy a gun from a dealer.

Inalienable rights are not recognized in a tyranny. In a tyranny rights are what the government lets you have. I suspect the framers did not envision a secret police force that is dedicated to suppressing the people or they might have made the language of the bill of rights stronger by specifying punishments for government officials for violations of the rights by the aforementioned government officials.
