This video exposes a concerning ATF policy change regarding NICS background check data. While claiming to enhance gun owner privacy by deleting records after successful sales, the ATF's NICS division reportedly maintains a secret program, the NICS Validation and Verification (VNV) team, to monitor and investigate lawful gun owners based on suspicious patterns or errors. The speaker argues this constitutes 'pre-crime' surveillance and calls for audits and investigations to protect Second Amendment rights.
This video discusses a FOIA request revealing the ATF's Internet Investigations Center (IIC) monitors social media platforms, including gun forums and sites like Arfcom, Reddit, and Facebook. The IIC's mandate is to identify potential public safety threats by analyzing open-source and commercially available data. The video highlights concerns about the broad definition of 'threat' and the potential for misinterpretation of online content, impacting lawful gun owners' privacy and First Amendment rights.
This video discusses the potential violation of federal gun laws by the FBI and DOJ when former Director Christopher Ray gifted a Tommy Gun to former Attorney General Merrick Garland. It highlights the strict regulations surrounding NFA-controlled firearms, particularly machine guns, and questions the legality and ethics of such a transfer, especially given the location of the event in Washington D.C., which bans such firearms. A FOIA request has been filed to ascertain the gun's status and the legality of its transfer.
This video discusses a lawsuit filed by Everytown for Gun Safety and the City of Baltimore against the ATF. The plaintiffs are seeking access to firearm tracing data, which is currently restricted by the Tiahrt Amendment. The speaker argues that this data, if released, could be used to identify and potentially target lawful gun owners, rather than solely focusing on criminal activity.
