Individual metadata is not necessary. I can take a few direct marketing and socioeconomic indicators, registered voters and actual voting results, combine and run the results at the zip code and census block level, and tell you within a 90 % accuracy range who you are, what you buy and who you voted for. If I want icing, a few metadata points linked to your name (cell phone locations, amazon purchases, etc. and I'll get 99% accuracy.

If you are a deplorable, more than enough to get a search warrant, then without ffl records I can tell what guns you own and how much ammo you have. Wouldn't need ffl records anyway if you are a concealed carry permit holder or in a registration state. Only possible exception is if you never bought anything except with cash, and only from individuals. Then I'll have to look a little harder but I still with get enough for the no-knock.

When they come after the first million gun owners, what will the other forty million gun owners do?

THAT’s the question.

They can’t get all 40M in one swoop.

Since people constantly post pictures online of their new purchases and insist on carrying tracking devices around with them, it isn’t hard to use FB to target and identify those who have made purchases even if they didn’t get concealed permits. They also make funny posts about boating accidents...etc... I think you know this already though!

I worked on a campaign here in Houston and would love to talk to you some time if you ever feel so inclined. Let me know.
