The Truth About NICS
When Project Veritas founder James OāKeefe went to buy a shotgun last August 6, an FBI background check barred him from completing the purchase.
OāKeefe came out swinging by quickly posting a video response that stirred up a lot of media attention. As he is the founder of Project Veritas, a nonprofit that uses undercover cameras and informants to uncover waste, fraud and illegal activity, he wondered if he had been blacklisted by the government as a punishment for his many video releases.
OāKeefe also filed a lawsuit against the FBI. According to the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, OāKeefe alleged that the FBI falsely claimed heād been convicted of a felony and āhas subsequently repeatedly, wrongfully and without justification denied Mr. OāKeefe the ability to purchase a firearm.ā
However, the thing about this denial is, itās much more likely this was simply a bureaucratic hiccup from a cumbersome governmental system.
