AFT Is Tracking You | Congress Targets ATF's Illegal Gun Registry | Background Checks for Family?!?

[@ultrablue2]

“Hello, ATF. I’d like to report an illegal class III transfer. The recipients name is Merrick Garland…”

[@ElementofKindness]

Funny how there's always plenty of money for tracking cameras, but oddly, never any budget for body cameras for the ATF and police. 🤔

[@HeroReborn]

Fluttershy is vying for the Element of Honesty here!

[@jsedbe0624]

Steve Diddlebutt always said his registry was okay because it wasn’t “searchable.” However, the law doesn’t say the ATF can’t have a “searchable” registry…the law says the ATF can’t have a registry OF ANY KIND.

[@jonjonr6]

And if you want to get into semantics, the registry is searchable, even if that search is manual. So he's ultimately incorrect. The only correct answer is, it's an illegal registry.

[@Liberty4Ever]

Just last night, I sent an email telling friends that there are 125 FLOCK license plate reading cameras in Lexington Kentucky. Police cars also have license plate reading cameras so they function as mobile data collection units. Drive in Lexington and you are tracked wherever you go. Tracking a car requires a warrant, but tracking ALL cars... no warrant needed! The police admit to querying this vehicle tracking database over 1000 times every month. For those who "feel safe" with government spying on everyone because they aren't doing anything wrong, there was a woman in Aurora Colorado whose license plate matched that of a stolen motorcycle in another state. The police executed a felony traffic stop on the "stolen vehicle" and had the mom and her four daughters (youngest, age 6) exit the vehicle at gunpoint so they could be handcuffed face down on parking lot asphalt in August. That tyrannical stupidity cost Aurora tax payers 1.9 million dollars. Still feel safe?

It would suck if legislators with felons in the family couldn't run for office again.

[@texasranger24]

I support Brandon Herreras idea. Don't just abolish the ATF. Open the allowed machine gun registry amnesty. Make everyone there approve stamps. Make the ATF lose every single case on purpose to create legal precedent. Then you can abolish the ATF, right alongside the NFA and GCA.

[@asphal.t]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@joejohnson4183]

Since the NFA & the GCA were established by Congress it will take Congress to repeal or modify both and that happening is only in your fantasy because the Feds will never , ever give up on regulating firearms and ammo PERIOD !!!

[@M1911jln]

You misspelled AFT.

[@franklugo6928]

​@joejohnson4183 if the AFT (yeah, I spelled it right) withdrew every gun case they are leading and listed the reason as "they are readily available" then those laws you mentioned could be ruled by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. Then there is no need to have congress write a law to overrule those laws.

[@samueljardine3402]

I think the Institute of Justice is making a case to outlaw Flock cameras.

[@atozproductions9660]

We don't have a gun registry so you must register your weapons when you buy them and do a background check with all of your information

[@thomasbarrett8397]

They have lost their Freaking Minds, ATF needs to be Disbanded

[@Lugghandle]

Not until the NFA is trashed. We need to take this opportunity to transform the organization. If you just dissolve them and the NFA is still intact then the next democrat administration will just reopen it and only rehire the ones they liked best.

Or give it to the FBI. Which is a way bigger organization.

[@cmdrredhawk]

Flock cameras are more than license plate readers. They capture vehicle image data and can allow searches with fuzzy logic queries. "Show me the location of all red trucks with a white bumper sticker" Agencies can volunteer to share their scans with other agencies. But flock gets all of it for free.

[@wood-wheel-wizard]

Cant track me if I never 4473

[@Jason_556]

Or with that scary Ghost gun. 😂

[@matthewcarlson5505]

I've known for a long time that there HAD TO be a registry of some kind that the government has on its citizens.The reason I say this is because whenever you fill out the 4473 to do your background check, the type of gun and even the serial number is included on the form. If it wasn't for a registry, they should just have to write in "firearm" under the reason for the background check.

[@AusJackal]

So the ATF has a gun registry, not a people registry... well, isn't that just special..

[@yourmissingsock556boop3]

They should be charged for bribery, at the very least.

[@richardstryker3322]

They will never completely destroy what they already have. They will perhaps say they did if forced to but you know they will keep a copy on a stand alone computer that is not part of their network.

[@tkenietz]

The cameras have gotten me warnings in the mail for driving without insurance, when I in fact did have insurance.

[@onebladeprop]

Imagine being told you aren't allowed to vote because your cousin got caught with jazz cabbage.

[@darthhodges]

As a parent I can see the point of the Flock cameras but a good law restricting it might go something like this. The software controlling it must delete any data collected within 60 seconds if it doesn't coincide with an explicitly requested plate number. No copies of that data may be made within that time limit. An official request for tracking a plate number expires 24 hours after submission unless it comes with a warrant expressly mentioning that vehicle. This gives law enforcement the ability to use it for things we like, such as catching kidnappers, but restricts their ability to look at old data or just request to see every plate.

[@bthemedia]

No, there is no good reason for this level of total information awareness / big brother survielllence state spying on every car on the road and thereby person too. If the capability exists, it will be abused. Any “limits” on its use are only temporary… see story on “no ATF gun registry” as an example.

[@darthhodges]

@@bthemedia If you don't trust the people in law enforcement to follow the law they shouldn't be in law enforcement. Therefore maybe we should first establish what means we need to have to remove such individuals from the system. Your point about the ATF shows that we clearly don't have sufficient means at present. Hence the meme "Make tar and feathers great again".

[@bthemedia]

@ obviously one cannot trust the government, that’s why we have a Bill of Rights in the Constitution- that was supposed to ensure government doesn’t overstep its bounds. There is an “expectation of privacy” consideration in law and 4th amendment, if you create a surveillance state now - allow that to happen - but say it’s only for this tiny edge case reason (eg terrorism, child trafficking, whatever crisis of the day) - then you’ve already opened Pandora’s Box and it’s near impossible to undo that.

[@karlmalone2464]

Probably. I remember reading this story a couple years ago about these guys that got busted for gaining access to this "fed portal" site where they can look up anything about anyone. They probably have facial recognition that automatically detects illegal immigrants. Surgical masks are back in style. They got busted because they bought equipment not available to the general public through the fed portal thing. They gained access to it through his Gmail account on a phone he traded in.

If memory serves, machine guns are in fact legal. All you have to do is have your ffl broker the deal and you file the atf paperwork and then pay $200.00 and a stamp is dispatched to the ffl and you go and pick it up. Those would be made before May 1986. Garland’s is probably non operable, like pouring lead down the barrel.

ATF currently legally tracks firearms from the manufacturer or importer, to distributors, to dealers. If there is a crime, such as the attempts on President Trump's life, ATF can easily know which FFL sold the gun. Looking at that FFL's on-site records then gives them the name of the buyer.

It is not against the 4th or 5th Amendment to have cameras or license plate readers because it is legal to take pictures or videos in a public space so get use to a surveillance State . And watch for this in the future where HOAs will install camera's in subdivisions just like they already have in many condos and apartments and for those with Ring cameras or other cameras see if you have not signed a waiver to allow the business to have access to your footage and that they will allow law enforcement access to that without a warrant because remember it is for your safety . Also what privacy does a person have when a drone is involved ?

Do you think even local enforcement can pull up your microphone on your phone on the fly? Like, the perpetrator's gps coordinates on his phone red flagged something in their system because you were coming from Texas to a marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma routinely. So then the sheriff starts tailgating them, clicks a button on his laptop and through their phone's mics he hears them confessing, "I can't go back to jail with this pound of weed in here.". And the other one is like, "I got warrants.". And it would be an easy way to bust drunk groups of people leaving a bar. I'm not saying I advocate this. I'm just genuinely curious.

Would you like to interview me in day and get my story? I am about to sue Riverside County and California for their unconstitutional CCW scheme in Federal Court. I was denied my CCW after appeal and I'm an FFL, I have an out-of-state CCW, I'm a range safety officer, I'm well trained, no drug or mental health history, and i can buy firearms and pass a NICS background check. I also have a letter from the DOJ and NICS saying i can Buy, possess and carry firearms but since Chad Bianco and his CCW unit didn't like me for whatever reason my right to carry is now infringed based on Arbitrary Rules and Subjective Standards against The Bruen decision and other SCOTUS rulings. I was told my case is a winner but i just need to find an attorney who is willing to start this with me. I asked AI if Riverside County CCW scheme was Unconstitutional. This is what it said....... The key question revolves around whether Riverside County’s CCW scheme complies with constitutional standards post-Bruen. The Supreme Court emphasized that rights protected by the Second Amendment should not require individuals to demonstrate special needs or burdensome criteria imposed by state or local governments. Good Cause Requirement: The requirement for applicants to show “good cause” is now viewed as overly restrictive and likely unconstitutional based on the precedent set by Bruen. This suggests that any similar requirement in Riverside County would face significant legal challenges. Subjective Criteria: The use of subjective assessments regarding an applicant’s moral character raises further concerns about constitutionality. Legal experts have pointed out that such criteria could lead to arbitrary decisions and discrimination against certain groups of people. Recent Injunctions: The permanent injunction against discouraging non-citizens from applying indicates judicial recognition of broader access rights under the Second Amendment, which may extend to all lawful residents regardless of citizenship status. Given these factors, it is reasonable to conclude that aspects of Riverside County’s CCW scheme are indeed unconstitutional as they conflict with both the spirit and letter of recent Supreme Court rulings regarding gun rights. Conclusion Based on these considerations, the Riverside County CCW scheme is likely unconstitutional, particularly concerning its previous requirements for demonstrating good cause and other subjective assessments related to moral character. That's the thing about it. Most "2A Organizations" have no interest in overturning permitting schemes especially in California. They are affiliated with, have holdings or just make way too much money to overturn the CCW Permitting Schemes. It's literally a giant money grab due to Training, application fees, mental evaluations, and attorneys making money off CCW Appeals for denials. In California an attorney will charge $5000 to $10,000 dollars for a CCW Denial Appeal. Do you think they want to overturn the CCW permitting system? Also in California some CCW issuing agencies use private companies like PERMITIUM to process applications with a standard fee of $125+. Think about it. If you charge $125 and your PRIVATE company processes 100,000 new applications and another 150,000 renewals every year your PRIVATE company is making $62,500,000 every year just processing applications. Then add training, psych evaluations and other fees, you'll see they are making money hands over fist. I would volunteer for a 2A organization and I saw first hand how many in leadership either are CCW trainers or involved with companies that provide training. Michele and Associates do not work pro Bono for members and are one of the ones charging $10,000 just to start an appeal with other fees piling up. Our rights are being sold at a high price and no one wants to do anything about it. I'm looking for an attorney who would use my case and my denial to overturn California's Unconstitutional CCW scheme but not one has any interest. I'm an FFL, highly trained in firearms, range safety officer, DOJ confirmed I can own, possess and buy firearms, no drug or mental health history and nothing in my record that makes me a disqualified person yet the courts still used false allegations from my ex wife and a dismissed case to use towards my denial. The paperwork filed against me using false allegations said "PROSECUTOR REFUSAL" because the investigator knew she was high on drugs and full of crap using the system to try to get back at me for leaving her after she abused my daughter and I found her stash of meth, heroin and syringes. To prove my point if you're a Riverside County Resident who was denied contact CRPA and ask them to start a case against Riverside County or to file a Writ of Mandate and they will turn you down. Why did they choose to sue Los Angeles and refuse to sue Riverside? Too much money being made. Look it up. Earlier this year Riverside County Sheriff held a CCW Symposium and guess who was to benefit from all the money made at the event? You guessed it, CRPA!!! This is a conflict of interest for CRPA members paying dues in Riverside. We don't want our 2A organizations to be in bed with Tyrants for monetary gain. CRPA only opens cases that will make them and their president Michele and Associates money because they open cases and drag them out to milk the organizations money from Donations. it's a grift and a money grab. I'll prove you don't have to pay lease fees, salaries, dinners and parties to change laws. We the PEOPLE can start lawsuits and save Billions of dollars! In case you didn't know and you should Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco Kneeled to BLM. Do you really want a Governor who BOWED to BLM like they were his God and Kings? Look it up. Or really happened. Only Sheriff to pander to BLM and Bow Down! 🤡 Recall Chad Bianco! Unconstitutional Sheriff. Can we the People trust organizations like CRPA who do nothing for it's members and get in bed with issuing agencies like Riverside County Sheriff Department. Look it up. They have a monetary gain with the relationship and scam they are pulling on the Constituents and CRPA members! That HOT reporter on Fox News was calling all law enforcement that kneeled to BLM at all 'KNEEL TEAM 6'! 😅 I Love It!
