Not defending the Brady Act. Attempting to demonstrate the second class citizen/Right status that we exist in currently.Civil rights attorney Paloma A. Capanna announced the filing of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in the case of Robinson, et al. v. Sessions, et al. The Petition requests permission to appeal to the nation’s high court, a privilege granted to approximately 80 cases per term (year).
The case of Robinson v. Sessions concerns the civil rights of individuals who lawfully purchase a firearm through a federally-licensed dealer, using the NICS background check system.

The Plaintiffs charge that this violates Brady Act restrictions on FBI use of a customer’s personal information.
“This is outrageous,” said Bill Robinson, lead Plaintiff. “The FBI has run more than 222 million background checks for firearms purchases against the Terrorist Screening Database without the legal authority to do so. The Brady Act guaranteed our right to privacy for the information we fill out on the ATF Form 4473. The FBI is violating the black letter of the law.”
Capanna describes the case as “unusual” because the government has already admitted all of the material allegations made against it. “Robinson v. Sessions needs to be heard by SCOTUS because the FBI reads and quotes the law, but then does not follow it. If we can’t stop the FBI’s activities in this case where all the allegations are admitted, then we are one giant step closer to the implementation of a government super computer where all of your personal information is linked.”
Who is Paloma A. Capanna and where are our supposed heroes? Sounds like a slam dunk case, if it's ever heard.
