Biden Admin Amassing Millions of Records on US Gun Owners Amid New Crackdown on Firearms

Biden's ATF obtained more than 54 million gun owner records in 2021 alone

The Biden administration in just the past year alone stockpiled the records of more than 54 million U.S. gun owners and is poised to drastically alter gun regulations to ensure that information on Americans who own firearms ultimately ends up in the federal government's hands, according to internal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The ATF in fiscal year 2021 processed 54.7 million out-of-business records, according to an internal ATF document obtained by the Gun Owners of America, a firearms advocacy group, and provided exclusively to the Free Beacon. When a licensed gun store goes out of business, its private records detailing gun transactions become ATF property and are stored at a federal site in West Virginia. This practice allows the federal government to stockpile scores of gun records and has drawn outrage from gun advocacy groups that say the government is using this information to create a national database of gun owners—which has long been prohibited under U.S. law.

The ATF obtained 53.8 million paper records and another 887,000 electronic records, according to the internal document that outlines ATF actions in fiscal year 2021. Gun activists described this figure as unusually high and said it contributes to fears that the Biden administration is trying to keep track of all Americans who own firearms, in violation of federal statutes. The procurement of these records by the ATF comes as the Biden administration moves to alter current laws to ensure that gun records are stored in perpetuity. Currently, gun shops can destroy their records every 20 years, thereby preventing the ATF from accessing the information in the future.

I wonder if they’re looking for anything specific?
Like who might own scary looking semi-auto rifles?

The article mentions bumpstocks and AR-15’s.

obviously anything that looks like or is similar to an AR would be included.

In a free country, crimes are investigated to find the criminals.
In a police state, people are investigated to find crimes.

“In a police state, people are investigated to find crimes.”

86,000 new IRS agents agree.

The next conservative president should order and enforce the destruction of these records.

I recall that the Obambi regime purchased 20,000 shotguns for IRS agents.

Just another indication that Brandon is a blatant racist. The vast majority of the guns in those records are black.

They’re looking for a specific value so they can assess your yearly firearm/ammo tax liability.

Since there are no guarantees on what a "conservative" would do. Or even whose side they're on.

I have a better idea.

The next conservative president should order and enforce the destruction of these records.

Well, I think we both know that not a single liberal President would lift a finger to destroy these records.

In a free state people are assumed innocnt until proven guilty.

In a police state the state will treat you as being guilty, they just haven’t collected or created all the evidence against you yet.

I thought it was explicitly against the law for a firearms registry to be assembled. Not that they care about the law - everything seems to be legal when they do it.
