Secret FBI Form to Sign YOUR 2A Rights Away

Published on September 8, 2022
Duration: 13:32

This video from Gun Owners of America (GOA) details an alleged secret FBI program between 2016-2019 where agents reportedly pressured Americans to voluntarily sign forms relinquishing their Second Amendment rights. These forms, obtained via a FOIA request, asked individuals to declare themselves a danger to themselves or others, or lacking mental capacity. GOA argues this process bypasses legal adjudication and due process, potentially intimidating individuals into waiving rights without proper legal counsel or understanding.

Quick Summary

Gun Owners of America (GOA) alleges the FBI ran a secret program from 2016-2019, pressuring Americans to voluntarily sign forms relinquishing their Second Amendment rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the alleged secret FBI program discussed in the video?

The video discusses an alleged FBI program from 2016-2019 where agents reportedly pressured Americans to voluntarily sign forms relinquishing their Second Amendment rights. These forms would register individuals in the NICS system, barring them from firearm ownership.

How did Gun Owners of America (GOA) obtain information about this FBI program?

GOA obtained this information through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. This request was prompted by a previous article that brought the existence of these forms to light, and GOA sought to uncover the operational details.

What are the main concerns raised about the FBI's NICS self-submission forms?

Concerns include the potential for intimidation by FBI agents at individuals' homes, the bypassing of legal adjudication for mental capacity issues, and the question of whether individuals truly understood their rights when signing. The process is seen as potentially unconstitutional by GOA.

How does the alleged FBI program compare to the legal requirements for firearm prohibition under the Gun Control Act?

The Gun Control Act requires adjudication as mentally defective or commitment to a mental institution. The video argues the FBI's form allows voluntary self-declaration or pressure to sign, bypassing these established legal procedures and potentially violating due process.
