Republicans are demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) remove the records of people who signed away their gun rights under FBI pressure.

In September, FBI officials were found to have had a number of Americans fill out a form that said they want the FBI to make it illegal for them to purchase or own guns forever because of a mental health condition.
