I have been listening to the various explanations about the number of citizens whose records were hacked in the OPM data breach. It started out as federal employees, was later expanded to include contractors, and now the government says the breach includes anyone who has had a background check run.
My question regards exactly who might be included in the BI group. Could this include those who have applied for concealed permits, those who have applied for Title II stamps, or those who have filled out 4473s? I have read that it only includes those who have filled out the onerous SF 86 as anyone who has held a security clearance will remember well. But the group keeps getting bigger as more information is forthcoming.
Does anyone think many of us might eventually be included in the list of those whose personal information might have been divulged? As the group keeps widening, it doesn't bode well for any kind of government database of information on exactly who owns what firearm.
