Trump Admin Is Considering Using [Big Tech] To Determine If Citizens Should Own A Gun
The Daily Caller ^ | August 22, 2019 | Chris White

The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), which would be located inside the Health and Human Services Department, the report notes, citing sources inside the administration. The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director.

HARPA would take after Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which serves as the research arm for the Pentagon. The idea was first crafted in 2017 but has since gotten a renewed push after mass shootings killed 31 people in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, in August.

The Suzanne Wright Foundation approached the president recently and proposed the agency include a project called Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes, or Safe Home, the report notes, citing two people familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump has a close relationship with Bob Wright, who founded the foundation after his wife died of cancer. Wright was a former chair of NBC and occupied that position while the president hosted “The Apprentice.”

HARPA would develop “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” according to a copy of the proposal. “A multi-modality solution, along with real-time data analytics, is needed to achieve such an accurate diagnosis.”

For all you who think your safe because you don’t use any of this tech.. think again. The major medical associations are all on board and the great thing is.. electronic medical records.
Gun grabber trump strikes again.

I find it hard to believe.

So called big tech has been proven to be against freedom for the ordinary man.

Today’s Gateway pundit has stories every day about organizations and individuals being banned.

Deciding who will be armed by logarithm will be the end of every single one of the Bill of Rights.

The same government that couldn’t keep Epstein alive is going to thread this needle. Sure.

They would red flag ya for being on a conservative website like this . We will be deemed social misfits and lose other rights as well. This has to be fake news . I would be heart broken if Trump did this.

Let’s withhold our pitchforks and torches until we get a direct quote from the President, shall we?

This would not be like him.

He was the one who said he would not go down the slippery slope. Considering his “fake news” opinions of big tech media does this really sound like something he would do?

No, it does not.

So while anything is possible, everything reported related to Trump is automatically discarded until we hear from President Trump himself!

I don’t believe this.

However I have thought for some years that eventually there will be a requirement to have tech on the gun that basically makes it inoperable in certain locations like schools, malls, airports etc.

Or inoperable outside certain locations like the owners home (defense), shooting ranges, hunting areas, etc.

How fast will they come up with a way to show that all Conservatives should be disarmed?

Insane. The tech tyrants can not be trusted.

The answer is easy. If they are a democrat the answer is no.

The only thing any doctors know about me is my cholesterol is under control and I have been a smoker for 52 years.
