There are interesting
statistics at the end of the article linked above.
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is reporting that they
have records on 5,216,732 illegal or unlawful aliens. These records are kept
under the “Prohibited Category Description” of those in the United States
Total active records in the
NICS Index for individuals in the “Prohibited Category Description” are
8,323,931.
Since the start of the NICS
program the organization has performed 160,474,702 background checks. As a
result of those checks the FBI has declined 11,974 illegal/unlawful aliens from
purchasing a firearm.
According to FBI.gov, if a
Federal Firearms Licensed dealer (FFL) requests a background check on an
individual that is not in the NICS system “If no matching records are returned
by any of the databases, the transaction is automatically proceeded.”
According to the FBI.gov
website “NICS is located at the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services
Division in Clarksburg , West Virginia U.S.
territories, and the District of
Columbia
The NICS system can tell an
FFL if someone is ineligible to purchase a firearm but they have yet to put a
system in place to apprehend the individual that is known to be in this country
illegally or a current fugitive of justice.
