JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A top official in Gov. Jay Nixon's administration abruptly resigned Monday, becoming the first person to step aside amid a controversy over the way Missouri gathers information about people with concealed gun permits...
--snip--
Long and other members of Nixon's administration have said those scanned documents are being kept on a state computer server and not shared with the federal government or other entities. But during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing last week, the head of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said his agency had twice obtained a separate electronic list of concealed gun permit holders that was based on driver's license information and shared that list with a fraud investigator in the Social Security Administration.
An email a federal agent sent Nov. 17, 2011, to the Highway Patrol said "the purpose for this list is to cross match it to the Social Security Administration database for people who are currently collecting disability for a mental illness." People who have been judged mentally incompetent aren't supposed to be able to get Missouri concealed gun permits...

The bastard will no-doubt retain his pension and bennies he “worked” for.
Yeah. Not shared. I’m sure. The state lambs are going to keep out the federal foxes. Sure they will. Bless their hearts. As if a class of gangsters that conspired to launch Fast and Furious (400+ dead) is going to worry about the formalities of permission to view “essential” data bases. Essential for DHS/HSI, that is.
Here’s the dirty truth of our fine Government. They say “we” aren’t doing this or doing that. What they won’t or don’t tell you is that they have contracted whatever they are denying out to a non-government entity.
This is what the DHS, TSA, FBI, ATF, et al are doing - they’ll fight to the death to keep you from finding this out, but that is what is happening. The contracts are let with a minimum of explanation but always involve ‘information’ ‘data basiing’ and the like.
Criminals that equivocate like Bill Clinton’s “the meaning of IS.”
Five bucks says he gets a sweet job with the Fed govt.
If he had respected and protected the rights of the citizens of Missouri he would still have his job.
Yeah, sure. In the future the feds will theaten to withhold or significantly delay some federal program funding unless said information is released to them.
If not an outright threat then the feds will make the state’s ability to get a federal program’s ongoing approval, funding, and quality targets significanly delayed or denied(think Medicaid funding, DOT road funds, etc.). Even delayed funding would potentially wreak havoc on a state’s budget.

I wouldn't even bet a nickel of President You Didn't Build That's personal wealth against that proposition, Free Vulcan.
The job the vermin actually deserves is washing dishes in a prison kitchen. If he does really well, we could think about promoting him to scrap clean up in the license plate division after, say, ten years.

Thanks for the ping!
Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
Hang 'em high as the nearest branch that goes 15 feet above ground level.
He got the job.
He had clerks "make electronic copies of people's personal documents, such as birth certificates and concealed gun permits".
He sent those copies to the Federal Government via the IRS.
He suddenly resigns because the job "as Director has taken a toll on me and my family."
Traitorous commie bastard or drooling halfwit imbecile?
Both of course, is an acceptable answer.
I listen to an internet radio station out of... Joplin, I think.
This has been a real deal over there as it should be. They handed over the entire list - twice.
I would not be at all surprised to find that 25+ states have also done this without telling anyone.
My response: "Any Questions?"
Prison time is certainly appropriate, at a minimum. If this was for those with mental illness, that would clearly prohibit every member of the GLBTP alliance from ever owning a CCW.
A neurotic State produces a neurotic populace!
