The FBI secretly provided forms to Americans between 2016 and 2019 to “voluntarily” relinquish their rights to own, buy or even use firearms, according to internal documents and communications.

The signed forms, which were unearthed by the firearms rights group Gun Owners of America (GOA), raise serious legal questions, lawyers say.

“We’re into a pre-crime, Minority Report type of world where the FBI believes it can take constitutional rights away from anyone it thinks possibly might pose a threat in the future,” said Robert Olson, outside counsel for GOA.

In 2018, FBI agents in Maine interviewed a high school student who “decided to look at online advice for hacking” on his school-assigned laptop, bureau notes show. Agents tried to access the student’s Facebook, but were “unable” to do so, according to the notes. However, the high school student eventually agreed to sign the self-submission form.

AKA, the kid was smart enough to not have a Facebook.

All these shitty lawyers with guns do now is review all your social media data. Don't have social media and they are clueless & useless.

I'm sure there weren't shady or horrible methods used to convince those people to sign. Fuck the FBI

which ask signatories to declare themselves as either a “danger” to themselves or others or lacking “mental capacity adequately to contract or manage” their lives.

Self defeating. If someone were to be in such a state they can't sign a legal document of their own accord. A guardian or what's called a Guardian Ad-Litem must be present and do all that stuff.
