Who was/is on that list and what crimes get one on that list that were then removed? Per MistWolf comment, more to the story than the article covers?
The FBI has removed thousands of people who are wanted by authorities from a criminal background check database that stops them purchasing weapons.
The law enforcement agency moved in February to narrow its definition of a “fugitive from justice.” That definition now only applies to wanted people who have crossed states lines, The Washington Post reported.
The change in definition and the fugitives’ removal from the list are significant developments because it means those who are wanted but no longer remain on the list can purchase weapons again under federal law.
