The ATF has been caught using facial recognition technology, including Clearview AI and Vigilant Solutions, to identify gun owners. Reports indicate agents used these tools without proper training, raising concerns about wrongful arrests and violations of civil liberties. Despite claims of ceasing use in April 2023, a July 2024 report linked the ATF to facial recognition scans in an attempted assassination investigation. This practice, combined with existing gun owner data, could enable real-time tracking of law-abiding citizens, with potential implications for future confiscation efforts.

This video discusses a report from Senator Ron Johnson alleging that the ATF possesses and utilized a facial recognition program in connection with the attempted assassination of former President Trump. The report suggests that photos of the shooter were sent to the ATF for facial recognition purposes, raising concerns about the agency's capabilities and oversight.

This video details preliminary findings from Senator Ron Johnson's investigation into the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
