SHTF – February 2, 2022<\/p>\n
What always proceeds gun confiscation historically? A Registry.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n A Registry of guns and gun owners is a tool that the federal government, the DOJ, and the ATF have had on their wish list for decades now. Anti-gun politicians and lobbyists have sold a registry as a tool for stopping crime, enforcing universal background checks, and ensuring public safety.<\/p>\n In reality, a Registry guarantees that large-scale confiscation\u00a0will<\/strong>\u00a0happen at some point. That\u2019s why the ATF is forbidden explicitly from keeping a searchable database by law.<\/p>\n Today, Gun Owners of America\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that the ATF has nearly\u00a01 Billion<\/strong>\u00a0records of firearm purchases, with over 850 million of those records in digital format. These records contain all sorts of personal information on gun owners in addition to the gun they\u2019ve purchased. Important personal information, including their names, addresses, place of birth, sometimes even social security numbers, can all be found on these records.<\/p>\n The firearm transaction records that the ATF is referring to is the ATF Form\u00a04473<\/a>. Federal law currently states that a firearms dealer can destroy 4473 forms after 20 years. If a firearms dealer goes out of business or closes before those 20 years, federal law says dealers must hand over those forms to the ATF.<\/p>\n So the ATF currently is in possession of nearly\u00a01 Billion<\/strong>\u00a0of these records. Here\u2019s the direct quote attributed to the ATF from GOA:\u00a0\u201cIn total, ATF manages 920,664,765 OBR as of November 2021. This includes digital and an estimated number of hard copy records that are awaiting image conversion. It is currently estimated that 865,787,086 of those records are in a digitalized format.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n So over 850 million of those records are in digital format, making them easier to search. GOA claims this constitutes a \u201cpartially complete database of guns and gun owners.\u201d<\/p>\n So how does the ATF justify this massive privacy invasion of gun owners? They claim that \u201cthe vast majority of criminal firearms traces are done for state and local law enforcement agencies pertaining to active investigations.\u201d But interestingly, in true Federal Government style, they also mention that they have no idea how effective this system is and if any of the information leads to the successful prosecution of gun crimes.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.shtfplan.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SHTF – February 2, 2022 What always proceeds gun confiscation historically?
