Looks to me like a long standing policy of the Federal Government to monitor Law Abiding Citizens under the blanket of âWhat if the mere act of collecting data could result in the identification of new targets?â and " These Americans were not wanted for any crime, but the ATF expected they might commit a crime in the future."
From Here:
Why We Collect Your Data
In the past, domestic law enforcement agencies collected data AFTER a suspect had been identified. This often resulted in lost intelligence and missed opportunities. But what if data could be collected in advance, BEFORE the target was known? What if the mere act of collecting data could result in the identification of new targets?
What if we could build a national data warehouse containing information about every person in the United States? Thanks to secret interpretations of the PATRIOT ACT, top-secret Fourth Amendment exceptions allowed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and broad cooperation at the local, state, and federal level, we can!
In 2021, AmmoLand News discovered through a leak that the ATF was using the FBIâs NICS to monitor certain Americansâ gun purchases. These Americans were not wanted for any crime, but the ATF expected they might commit a crime in the future. Some people were monitored because they were associated with groups and people that the government didnât like. The monitoring period for the ATF target is 30, 60, 90, or 180 days.
Maybe they were Beta testing for some type of âMinority Reportâ system they are trying to implementâŠ
Simple really: âIF YOU BUY A GUN⊠YOU COULD BE A TERRORISTââThe ATF
Sounds like the same old tactics played out earlier under Secretary Napolitano, Home Land Security with that terrorist report. At the time that analysis was submitted, essentially blaming all veterans as potential terrorist, just because of Timothy McVieghâs prior service in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm. At that time the national commanders of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, all had a conversation in her (Secretary Napolitano) office. Trust me, it was a one way direct conversation and did not go very well for her.
This WAS what they did. BLAME THE PATRIOT. We didnât WIN in Afghanistan! they rail! (welp, if ya didnât EVAC us like a bunch of little Gyrl Scouts with wet panties , Blow us up for lax security, leave Billions of dollars and Hardware? Yeah, we didnât LOSE- YOU (.gov) THREW THE GAME!. Your HIGH TABLE antics threw our Warfighters under the bus!.(and we wonât forget), We never forgot âBenghaziâ either Hilary!
Judgement day is upon us.
This is why my wife and I are Life Members; DAV, NRA, VFW, GOA, AL, JPFO (Jews for Prevention of Firearm Ownership) because we depend on our organizations to stand for our values against crooked politicians / bureaucrats (who could care less) who violate their oath in so many ways.
Thatâs a new one on me. Prevention? Doesnât sound real 2A friendly.
Oops, (JPFO) JEWS For The PRESERVATION Of FIREARM OWNERSHIP. The reference is historical to the Holocaust. Hitler as Chancellor created German laws to ban firearms. As a result, the phrase - Never Again. Itâs interesting to note at the time the Gun Control Act (1968) was written and signed into law under LBJ, the example used to write it came from guess who and where? Hitler and NAZI Germany. Plagiarism has always been the example for nefarious writers - imagine that!
Oh by the way, please donât get me started on the Democratic Party History - KKK, Jim Crowe (LBJ supported), Sanctuary Policies, Illegal Immigration, Illegal Voting, etc.
