They wouldn’t lie to you Mr. Senator, would they?
Geez, ya' think? /sarc
This administration has no hesitation in lying to Congress, so what makes anyone think they will answer these questions honestly?
Until the registry is discovered, the mantra is deny, deny, deny.
Yeah—like this will lead to the truth.........../s
They will say no, but not say that with a couple of clicks in the database program, they can find any credit card purchases from any of a thousand places like Cabela’s or dirtcheapammo.com etc. and start from there.
If Congress were serious they would serve them with a subpoena duces tecum (look it up) and if they produced nothing, an analyst team with security clearance shows up unannounced with a court order.
That’s really cute, isn’t it? I was actually thinking Congress might be serious about protecting the American people from one of their overreaching fellow feral agencies. Never mind .......... heh.
Short answer: Of course they did. What do you intend to do about it?
They never fail to amaze me with the depths they’re going to to mess with us.
B*stards.
Got 'em
Ammo orders by web?
Got 'em.
Magazines? Parts? optics? Cases? Tactical stuff? Holsters?
Check, check, check, check, check, and... Check! Got 'em!
Any communication that has traveled by phone, involved a credit/debit card, etc. The 4473 was just a formality.
Got the gun private sale, cash? good start. Ordered the 'stuff' and ammo on line? that leaves a trail. (Perhaps best to have one on paper, one (or more) not--the one on paper will be the one they look for, but will hide the traceable ammo buy for the other--unless you paid cash for that in person also.
But then, the same goes for most anything.
If he says no, you can be sure he is telling the truth/s
The organs of tyranny can collect all the info they want, makes little difference or can stop razors to the throat of such architects in the shadows. The fomenting rage in this country will only last so long til the damn bursts.
Ohio Ping
A bipartisan group of 26 senators, led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to detail the scope and limits of the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities in a letter released Friday.
SNIP
Among the senators’ concerns was whether the NSA’s bulk data harvesting program could be used to construct a gun registry or violate other privacy laws.
They/we already know the 4th is dead, what’s one more Amendment in the bonfire?
Not like they’ll rollback any law/regulation/department.
Not like anyone has to fear prison for doing anything illegal anywho.
I was called with a poll. It sounded like Bloomberg’s group funded it. They asked if I owned a gun. Yeah! As if I would answer THAT question!
What country are we living in?
of course they did- that is why health centers and hospitals all across the nation began routinely askign patients if they had guns in their homes (pretendign hte quesiton was only about ‘protecting’ suicidal or homicidal patients’)- State governments FORCED helath centers to becoem rats- to betray the trust of their patients and to report ANY guns immediately-
If NSA denied they collected gun info- they are liars!
Revolt is coming.
I know... I've been involved on the cutting edge of data storage and analytics for 30 years - pioneering distributed and very large databases (VLDBs) that model / manage very complex party relationships. I was an executive at 2 of oldest, largest, and most successful global data companies.
It was scary what they knew about people, entities, relationships, and behaviors - both historic and predictive. The NSA is light years ahead of these companies - with unlimited resources and no accountability on either laws or results.
