FOIA Request Shows FBI Adding Non-Prohibited Buyers to NICS Preventing Gun Purchases

The FOIA request shows that the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) considers anyone with a warrant for arrest to be a prohibited person. The person doesn’t even have to be aware that a judge issued a warrant for their arrest. The crime doesn’t even have to rise to the level of a violation of the law that would block a person from owning a gun.

Sounds like excessive use of authority. I'd think what they are doing is illegal.
