This makes sense, if you believe in the 6th amendment of the Constitution and the premise of our legal system that suspects are "innocent until proven guilty". Simply having a warrant does not make one guilty of a crime that should preclude one of their 2nd amendment rights.

I take that back, then. My wuesgion is then why hasn’t that warrant been served? Why weren’t those individuals arrested?

---

Maybe "failure to appear" bench warrants on traffic violations, etc? Likely, very 'low priority' type things.

Or, given the efficiency of the court system...already appeared / had charges dropped or reduced and the clerk hasn't yet removed them from the system.

I have no idea.

Because most warrants are not actively pursued. They will wait until you get popped for speeding, or come in to renew a license or tag. The system is ridiculous.

Thank you for your retort, answering my wuesgion.

It's been over a year since I've filled out one of those.

The Justice Department under Barack Obama directed the FBI to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified Wednesday.

And people bitch about other presidents.... Damn, we just keep on finding out all the stupid shite Obama did. Will it ever end?

Our president deleted info on criminal refugees. We're these all non-violent warrants? Highly highly doubtful. Some probably had murder warrants... Think Obama cared about little shite like that? Naw.

And I wonder if that had got reported by the press during his presidency, would his followers be on board.

Russia or China should have the data.

Nothing's ever 'deleted'.
