USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Rumors have begun that a class-action suit against the FBI, BATFE, NICS-system operators and DOJ itself may be in the works, from people whose civil rights were wrongfully denied by bad firearms background checks.
Multiple reports have surfaced that at least 25% of retail-sales denials are completely erroneous.
Professor John Lott has estimated that up to 99% of NICS denials are false positives, and based on the number of actual criminals apprehended or convictions obtained, NICS basically just denies rights without much crime-fighting component evidenced, at enormous cost and delay.
The class of people whose fundamental constitutional civil rights have been withheld or outright denied by NICS is likely in the millions.
Civil-rights denial under color of law or otherwise, aside from being detestable, is a felony under numerous federal statutes.

I too have been denied, delayed and made multiple trips to the store to get my finally approved firearm. When shopping at the JBER PX I never know if i can take a gun home or not. I live in Juneau and so the inconsistency of the NICS check is frustrating. Don Young tried to help but the BATF always revert back to the same crap. As retired Army I would love a CLASS Action suit! DRAIN the SWAMP!
I have a CWP. I get delayed each time. I filed for a Voluntary Appeals File to obtain a UPIN over 6 months ago. I was recently delayed and subsequently denied. I appealed that denial and it was overturned. I received an AMD number to use in place of the UPIN on this application. Since the appeal took over 30 days a new 4473 and NICS check had to be submitted. I was delayed again for 2 business days before being allowed to complete the transaction. The instant check system took over 6 weeks. I have yet to receive my… Read more »
I was wondering if anyone found out anything about this?
I also was refused at cabelas long after having my rights restored and having my concealed pistol license, and then my wife was denied because she had the same address as me.
Would love to know what I could do to really have my rights back!
I love to get in on this. Having a common name has caused me multiple denials. Anyone have an update?
While we’re at it someone needs to be charged with a felony. I really don’t think those that falsely deny us should be able to buy a firearm.
i want in on the class action suit please let me know were to get involved with this
