For some reason everytime I make a purchase it always goes to "further review" - not sure why that happens or exactly what it means?

More than that do it yearly, and now that they're trying to tax offshore assets of dual citizenship people, that number will grow.
It is interesting that those 57 renounced citizenship and then tried to buy a gun.
I wonder what "federally denied person" is.
The purpose of 'The Denied Persons List' is to: prevent the illegal export of dual-use items before they occur; investigate and assist in the prosecution of violators of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the Fastener Quality Act (FQA); and inform and educate exporters, freight forwarders, and manufacturers of their enforcement responsibilities under the EAR and FQA. The list is created by U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security as part of BIS's Export Enforcement (EE) program. You may access the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security's Denied Persons List at BIS Website. Click on the Lists to Check link located to the left of the screen.
Can you blame them for trying? The gov gives them everything else.
The current state of taxation for expats and Americans who split time between countries is horrible. You pay more taxes as an American living and working overseas than you would if you lived in the US, and more than if you were a citizen of the country you actually live in.
I'd be curious to know how the NICS check knew they were illegal. Wouldn't that imply that they were in the system?

AAG Rachel L. Brand said:When the NICS was first established, the FBI created a new database for the collection of information not already included in the III or NCIC on persons who are prohibited under Federal law from possessing firearms. The NICS Index currently contains over 4.3 million such records. Of these, 3.6 million have been submitted by the United States Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on removable aliens who fall within the category of illegal aliens prohibited from receiving guns. The other categories of records contained within the NICS Index include individuals who have received a dishonorable discharge from the armed forces, individuals who have renounced their United States citizenship, individuals who have been adjudicated by a court, commission, board, or other lawful authority as a danger to themselves of others or incapable of managing their own affairs or who have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution, and individuals who have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. The NICS Index also includes a Denied Persons File that contains any records that do not meet the criteria for entry into NCIC or III, but that nevertheless demonstrate an individual is federally prohibited under any of the categories under the Gun Control Act. Examples of records in the Denied Persons File include protection orders or active arrest warrants that are not eligible for entry in NCIC, persons who are under court order not to possess a firearm as a condition of deferred adjudication, a felony conviction posted to the State record that is not reflected in the III, and prohibiting mental health records that cannot be placed in the NICS Index’s Mental Defective File because State law or policy prevents the submitting State from identifying the information as a mental health record.

There are two files in the NICS Index into which Federal agencies and the States can enter information about individuals who have a disqualifying mental health history – the Mental Defective File and the Denied Person File. The Mental Defective File contains only the names and other biographical information, such as date of birth or social security numbers, of the individuals with a disqualifying mental health history. The Denied Persons File contains the names and biographical information of individuals who are prohibited from receiving a firearm, but whose record is not entered into another system or file checked by the NICS. The FBI allows States to enter names about disqualifying mental health histories in the Denied Persons file. This allows a State to share this information for purposes of NICS checks without necessarily identifying the person whose name is entered as having a mental health history. Neither file contains information about medical records or the details of the mental health history. If a prospective firearm purchaser is found to match a name in the file, the proposed gun transfer is denied. If the individual wishes to challenge the denial, the agency that provided the name then becomes involved in the appeal
and the review of the underlying facts.

States may, at their discretion, submit names of persons disqualified on mental health grounds into the Denied Persons File instead of the Mental Defective File. When a State submits a name to the Denied Persons File, it does not indicate why the person is disqualified. Therefore, the NICS Section is unaware of how many of the records submitted to the Denied Persons File relate to mental health. A State may choose to submit information this way if, for example, it has privacy-related concerns about informing the Federal system which records relate to mental health.
I am astounded that the number three reason (practically tied with number two) is "fugitive from justice." Really? You're on the lam so you decide it's a good idea to submit yourself to a background check? Holy crap. I guess it's true, you can't fix stupid.
I wonder how many people knew they were fugitives? My buddies ex had a warrant out for her arrest for grand theft auto due to some confusion at a car rental place and she didn't know about it until the police called him looking for her.
Only 57 renounced their citizenship?
You have been living in MA too long. In MOST states, you walk into a gun store, buy a gun, and go home.
I'd be curious to know how the NICS check knew they were illegal. Wouldn't that imply that they were in the system? If that is the case, then how many illegals with good fake ID's and matching SSN's did successfully buy guns?
How many who were validly rejected were prosecuted under the law?

The IRS publishes a quarterly listing of people who renounce their citizenship. Every quarter there's a lot more than 57. That's just the ones who renounced and then apparently applied for a license, or whatever. In the first quarter or 2013, for example, there were 679 people who renounced. Think that's a lot? Try 1,130 in the second quarter of 2013. I have had one client call me up and ask about renouncing, too. I was able to dissuade him, but many of these people have tunnel vision with respect to taxes and aren't really looking at the big picture. WSJ article on the subject.57 renounced their citizenship?
