Videos tagged with Gun Trace Data
This video discusses a lawsuit filed by Baltimore City and gun control groups against the ATF. The core issue is the ATF's denial of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for gun trace data, citing the Tarr Amendment, which restricts the disclosure of such information. The lawsuit argues that the Tarr Amendment does not preclude FOIA requests.
This video reveals that the ATF possesses a searchable database containing nearly 1 billion firearm transaction records, dating back to the Gun Control Act of 1968. Approximately 850 million of these records are digitized, creating a de facto searchable federal registry, which the speaker asserts is a violation of federal law. The ATF claims this database aids law enforcement in solving crimes through trace data, but the speaker questions the effectiveness and intent behind its creation.
