Videos tagged with Searchable Database

ATF Director Steve Dettelbach has confirmed the existence of a firearms database, contradicting previous claims of it being solely non-searchable images. The ATF is reportedly paying Adobe extra to remove search functionality from their PDF reader software to comply with laws prohibiting searchable firearms registries. This admission validates past conspiracy theories and raises questions about the scale and management of the ATF's vast data collection.

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.
