Biden administration creating unlawful firearms owner's database
2021-11-11
[MAIL] The Biden administration has been compiling records of 54 million gun owners to possibly create an unlawful database of Americans who possess a firearm, according to a Saturday report.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon are keeping tabs on U.S. citizens who have purchased firearms to make sure their personal information is in the hands of the federal government.

The agency was able to obtain the information by using a process where the ATF can collect and store records on private gun transactions from licensed gun stores when they go out of business. The information is stored at a federal site in West Virginia.

There are so many records stored at this location that several years ago, The New York Times reported, the floor collapsed.

The practice of collecting these records has drawn criticism from Pro-Second Amendment groups who say the Biden administration is using the information to create a national database of gun owners, which is against U.S. law.

#3  I'm pretty sure the data base for fire arms purchases exists. Had a customer get in a little trouble, the law came to his house, had a list of all his gun purchases, and confiscated said guns.

#2  I refuse to believe such a database does not already exist.

#1  I recall reading the German perspective of the Battle for Normandy in the days following the invasion. What stuck with me was the comment that the Americans had no radio discipline and that the Germans were hearing it all, but that all included how much material and manpower was coming down on them. Not good for morale.

Have the illegal database, then count how many people you will have on your side and how many people will be on the other side. Then realize nearly all of your people have to go home every night into that population. It only takes one Lexington Commons to set off a fire you can't hope to put out.
