James O'Keefe of Project Veritas revealed Thursday that he was erroneously placed on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System as a "felon" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, effectively denying him his Second Amendment rights.
"I have just filed a lawsuit against the FBI for infringing upon my 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms," O'Keefe tweeted. "They have erroneously put me on the Federal NICS Background Check System as a convicted felon."
"The problem? I am NOT a convicted felon."
BREAKING: I have been DENIED my Constitutional right to bear arms. The @FBI has erroneously put me on the NICS Background Check System as a convicted felon.

The @FBI has maintained the NICS with patently and demonstrably FALSE information about me, claiming that I in fact have been convicted of a crime that carried over a one-year incarceration under 18 U.S.C § 922(g)(1).#WeHaveRights pic.twitter.com/vcDvUhL2B7

FBI Director Chris Wray seems to have spent the majority of his tenure politically persecuting all of President Trump's supporters.
Last year, a 32-year-old former Marine had his guns seized at the direction of the FBI after he allegedly said he would kill antifa members in self-defense if "they start killing us."
