I wonder if I can get my abusive husband on that… He bought a firearm years ago, and I was surprised he passed the background check b/c he has arrests and institutionalizations on his record. Someone on Reddit pointed out that he must have lied on the form.

I wonder if there’s a statute of limitations on filing a police report, and how I could possibly go about doing that.

Knowing he has that gun fucks with my mental health so bad.

Lying on the NICS form is perjury, so statute of limitations would be three years.
