FBI: 7 MILLION Illegal Aliens Tried to Buy Guns This Year

If you are an illegal alien, you understand the need for protection from criminals—you probably live among many violent folks.  Because of their status—being here illegally—when they are victims of a crime, they have a hard time reporting it.  Instead, they want protection.  What confuses me is why do they try to buy guns when they know doing so from a legitimate gun shop means a background check.  Also, confusing is why did ICE not arrest those who are here illegally trying to buy guns?

“The FBI is reporting that a record number of illegals tired to purchase firearms this year. Over seven million illegals tried to purchase guns. Those who were adjudicated for mental health were the runners up in the prohibited category, with over 5.6 million rejected NICS checks (via Washington Examiner):

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System said that it rejected 7,836,600 planned purchases from “illegal/unlawful alien” as of 2018. And that was at the end of November. Christmas purchases of guns are typically high and were not included.”

Why hasn’t the media planned up this number?  The media opposes the Second Amendment, so why are they quiet about illegal aliens buying guns?  Oh, they like illegal aliens more than they hate guns—guess that is the reason.

Oh Goodie: FBI Says A Record Number Of Illegal Tried To Purchase Guns This Year

There are a variety of factors that can prohibit you from owning firearms. If you’re convicted of a violent crime, like assault, domestic abuse/violence, a dishonorable discharge from the military, or being in this country illegally. That’s the most obvious one, and it also tops the list of the reasons why someone was rejected for a firearms purchase through the National Instant Background Check System. The FBI is reporting that a record number of illegals tired to purchase firearms this year. Over seven million illegals tried to purchase guns. Those who were adjudicated for mental health were the runners up in the prohibited category, with over 5.6 million rejected NICS checks (via Washington Examiner):

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System said that it rejected 7,836,600 planned purchases from “illegal/unlawful alien” as of 2018. And that was at the end of November. Christmas purchases of guns are typically high and were not included.

That number has been increasing in recent years.
