ATF Seeks 'Massive' Database of Personal Info: 'Assets, Relatives, Associates and More'
A recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) reveals that the agency is seeking a "massive" online database capable of pulling up individuals' personal information, connections and associates.
On March 28, ATF posted the notice on FedBizOpps.gov, entitled "Investigative System." The solicitation was updated on April 5 with a few minor changes.
The document says that the system will be utilized by staff "to provide rapid searches on various entities for example; names, telephone numbers, utility data and reverse phone look-ups, as a means to assist with investigations, and background research on people, assets and businesses."
The system is described as a "massive online data repository system that contains a wide variety of data sources both historically and current that can be utilized in support of investigations and backgrounds."
So it does not matter what laws our legislators are going to pass, we will have some form of gun registration regardless. I wonder how they are going to populate the database -- any potential violation of the Fourth Amendment?
The 1,000+ comments are pretty strong and aligned toward more freedom and smaller government.
