FBI/NICS Authority Over Ammunition Purchases
BY Herschel Smith1 day, 6 hours ago
In June, instead of producing what was asked for, the FBI returned copies of two nonresponsive Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sections anyone can pull off the internet. Neither even remotely address the scope of the request.
“It’s clear that the FBI has no intention of responding, which makes fair another question,” I observed. “Why?”
The final straw came this Tuesday, when my attorney Stephen Stamboulieh, received a response from DOJ’s Administrative Appeals Staff Chief Christina Troiani in which she told him, “After carefully considering your appeal, I am affirming the FBI’s action on your client’s request… I have determined that the FBI’s response was correct and that it conducted an adequate, reasonable search for responsive records subject to the FOIA.”
To paraphrase, we’re not going to tell you. Deal with it.
The Congress could get involved, but honestly, there is a way to conclusively and decisively deal with this. Defund the FBI. Remove all funds for operation and salaries forthwith.
That would stop the infringements, but since they fear the FBI, just like they fear the CIA, they won’t do it.
So the problem will continue.
This is not what the founders intended, and not what the covenant and contract with America called the BoR says.

What do you think that Alex Soros has been telling them, since he runs the show these days?

States do not use NICS for ammo. New York has a database far more restrictive than the federal one. People get approved for the firearm but delayed on the separate ammo check all the time.
