Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gun Owners of America's (GOA) main concern regarding ATF records?

GOA's primary concern is that the ATF's accumulation of nearly one billion gun owner records constitutes an illegal federal gun registry. They argue this database is a violation of federal law and a potential precursor to gun confiscation, citing historical examples.

How did the ATF's pistol brace rule exemplify concerns about gun owner data?

What historical examples are used to support the fear of gun confiscation from registries?

The video cites Australia and Venezuela as countries that have carried out large-scale gun confiscations. It also mentions Canada threatening door-to-door confiscations and New York City's history of registering long guns before banning many of them.
