Traffic Ticket? No Guns!

Yet more proof that politicians will use any excuse to deny Americans their constitutional right to be armed for self defense. In NICS there's a category called, "scary fugitive," which denies that right to those listed in NICS under that category. "Authorities" have used that to deny gun rights to many people whose only "crime" is an unpaid parking ticket! Fully 13% of refusals have that listed as the category. And another thing: You'd better hope there is no scumbag out their with the same name your parents hung on you. There is no system to verify the veracity of the factors in entering names into the NICS system. Some ATF agent playing a trick on somebody can get a name on NICS, and it takes practically an "act of God" to get it off. Next, there is the lazy data entry person. The guy or gal charged with ENTERING those names into the system. Admittedly, this is a small category, but an important one for those killed by people whose name SHOULD be in NICS. Then there's the fact that somebody's name in the system stops NOBODY from buying a gun in a back alley somewhere, from another criminal. Those people don't worry about being listed in NICS.
