EXCLUSIVE — The U.S. government conditioned a plea agreement with a defendant stipulating they sign a secret form, which was not authorized through Congress and has been slammed as"unconstitutional" by Republican lawmakers, that stripped their rights to buy, own, or use firearms, documents show.
Secondly, it's unclear why the government used the form, which registered people into the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System and asked signatories to identify as a"danger" to themselves or others or also lacking the"mental capacity adequately to contract" their lives. Second Amendment lawyers, including GOA's outside counsel, Robert Olson, told the Washington Examiner that U.S. citizens can't legally forfeit their gun rights.
Ambler added,"It's an example of something more nefarious, which is individuals within the government pursuing a goal of disarming people. That is not something supported by our legislature. In fact, it is contrary to what our legislature has done because there are set forth conditions on when somebody can be disarmed."
There's no indication in documents that the defendant who signed the 2019 plea agreement was either ruled a"mental defective," a legal term referring to those held to be suffering from insanity or incompetence, or put into a mental institution.
