Concealed Agenda: Inside the FBI’s Secret Scheme to Strip US Citizens of Gun Rights

The FBI worked hand in hand with federal agencies for nearly a decade to strip at least 60 U.S. citizens of their gun rights — a once-secret operation largely brought to light as part of a Washington Examiner investigation.

Between 2011 and 2019, the FBI coordinated with the Secret Service and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain signatures on internal bureau forms from citizens at their homes and in other undisclosed locations that stripped their rights to own, buy, or even use firearms, according to multiple reports from the Washington Examiner and the Daily Caller beginning in September 2022.

“Bureaucrats at the FBI created an unconstitutional form without authorization from any statute and began pressuring people with mental illness to give up their rights to own a firearm,” Aidan Johnston, a lobbyist for Gun Owners of America, the firearms rights group that’s uncovered documents in connection to the FBI’s form as part of its Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, told the Washington Examiner.

Johnston added, “Congress needs to hold hearings and investigate the cruelty of this form.”

At least one hearing has taken place that partially focused on the forms. The House Judiciary Committee held one in December 2022 that saw Democrats and Republicans debating legislation sponsored by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) that would let people add themselves to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System, thereby forfeiting their gun rights.
