The reason I was given was that they could not distinguish myself from another man with my name who is a criminal. Voluntarily submitting my fingerprints took care of this issue
I don't mind the check, it's being denied in treated like a criminal because the FBI and the NICS division still don't have it right
You can be denied due to an open bench warrant due to traffic tickets, for delinqent child support, alomony, or student loan. Even back taxes can cause you to be denied.
And what if his "felony" was a couple of joints in his pocket 30 years ago? Do you still believe that he should not have the right to defend himself from a violent criminal?
AGREED!!!I think requiring a check for every purchase is a big waste of time and money.
If you have a LTC, that should be all you need, you been checked enough.
I think your POV needs to be kept in our minds, but I still think checks are a good idea. As long as their done correctly. There is no reason why a criminal should be able to LEGALLY buy a gun. NONE..And don't expect them to "get it right." For two reasons - if they will have to do background checks on EVERY transfer, plus possibly transfers of magazines, they will have a greatly increased backlog; AND, "getting it right" does not further the agenda of the government (that agenda being "don't let citizens have guns").
And these are valid reasons for the government to deny your rights WHY, exactly???
Remember, every time we agree to ask the government's permission to do something, we are also agreeing that we will be fine with the government saying "no."
Why not ask the ATF that, all I can tell you is that is the system we have to work with.
On a personnal note I am all for denying an instant backround check to tax cheats, people that default on there student loans and deadbeats that skip out on there child support. If you have the money to buy firearms then you should have the money to pay your debts and not count on us law abiding citzens to do it for you.
I should also add, I firmly believe, well, more like seriously wonder if would work, that every law abiding, able bodied person, should be REQUIRED to carry, and take proficiency exams.. Wanna stop crime???
The denial was because someone with same name and physical features is up for a term of more than two years in jail. I submitted the vaf and shouldn't have to worry anymore
What happened to "only people convicted of a felony in a court of law shall be denied the right to firearm ownership?" Are we now going to deny basic human rights to people who are in debt??
If the IRS claims I owe them even more money, am I no longer worthy of defending my family?
If a ex-wife says I didn't pay enough in child support, is my child's life now not worth defending?
If people who are in debt are not to be allowed the means to defend themselves, then they will HAVE to depend on others to defend them. Is that what you intend??
You are confusing debt with those who are just deadbeats, and yes if they are in default of child support, student loans and taxes they are breaking the law.
