... according to emails shared with NPR by an official who was not allowed to speak publicly.
This is not the first time in recent days that NPR has reported on information from anonymous sources who are not authorized to speak publicly.
Kudos to NPR, and kudos to those sources.
May they all see the next sunrise and those after.
Just don't stand too close to the window
Hmm, they've made lists of autistic people, trans people and poor people. These fascists sure do love lists - can't imagine why.
Not that I'm in favor of disarming citizens, but if you bring up gun control around these people, one of their first arguments against it is that a database of people who own guns is bad because it will be used for nefarious purposes. The unspoken part is "because that's what we would do."
As long as they don't make a list of all the gun owners, they'll probably retain power.
They 100% have lists of gun owners.
Doubtful that any lists they have are particularly accurate. There’s a lot of loopholes and decentralization/fragmentation on where that information is.
LOL no they don’t!
Can you prove that?
Several states require firearm registration, as does the fed for certain types of firearms.
That’s an interesting way of spelling, “no.”
Most states do not require firearms registration. There’s a handful that explicitly prohibit it. As far as states that have a general firearms registration is concerned, it’s limited to Hawaii and DC, so sure… you’ll get some people on a list there.
CA, CT, NY - there’s only a registry for certain types, not all.
There’s also no federal firearms registry whatsoever.
That’s an interesting way of spelling, “no.”
But the answer isn't "no". There are lists. That's what the registry is. It's a literal list of people who own firearms.
So if a list is < 1% complete, that’s good enough?
It's good enough that it should be a concern, given the current admin with access to those lists.
All they have to do is grab a copy of the NRA membership roster and mandate that gun stores turn over sales records for purchases of guns or ammunition.
I guarantee they can get you on a list pretty quick if they want to.
Yep, because cash isn't a thing and everyone that owns a gun is an NRA member.
If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it'll happen.
Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.
Also, it's really easy to make re-loaded ammo.
You have to show ID to buy ammo now. They don't take a picture of your ID and send it off somewhere when that happens, they just make sure that you're old enough to buy it (like alcohol or cigarettes). For me, they look at me and see that I'm over 40 and that's good enough to be my ID.
I don't know where you're coming up with your bullshit but you should stop. It's a waste of your time, and it's all wrong.
Do you not think the feds could pass a law saying that sellers have to keep a list of everyone who buys guns or ammo?
Honestly, I'm really curious at this point why commenters here are so absolutely convinced that they couldn't.
Lmfao, no. Just stop.
The feds DO NOT PASS LAWS!
What do you think Congress does then?
LMFAO - do you think Congress is "the feds?" If you're not a US citizen, your lack of info is forgivable.
Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government, yes. They make the laws carried out by the executive branch. "Feds" refers to federal employees.
So yeah, members of Congress are feds, though not the ones you are used to seeing at your door.
No, “Feds” refers specifically to federal law enforcement. The “fed” sets interest rates.
No one refers to congress as the feds.
At this point it’s clear you’re trolling.
And blocked
Gun manufacturers have already been caught giving warranty registration info to political action groups.
What about all those guns I bought privately with cash and then buried? Good fucking luck gubbermint.
Bro...
I know, right? I thought all the gun owners lost them in a boating accident. I have no idea why so many gun owners take their entire collection fishing.
The fish have had it too good for too long! They must face the wrath of fire, thunder, and lead!
Require LOL yea and they require car insurance too! Still doesn’t matter!
they will probably ignored red districts, and counties.
This means I've finally made it onto a list.
You don't have to concentration camp people if they're dependent on the government to eat. You just have to cut off the money. They'll starve all on their own.
In cities designed for cars that also helps isolate you from communities and fighting back
Personal data that won't be shared with anyone, but coincidentally there will be a spike in ICE investigations on people of color in those areas.
Grok is about to be REALLY knowledgeable
You can have a red hot iron spike up your ass.
No
Most states that administer SNAP will likely tell them to get fucked.
And the free use state of florida will continue to spread wide open and take whatever is given
texas, anti-Flourida, ALABAMA,arkansas,
🤨
Hmmm let's see if they quit softballing fascist ideas before they get a pat on the head.
Oh hey! I narrowly avoided this one. No SNAP here (yet)! Only SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing 🤨
trying to fish out who votes for who.
Half these states have a list of registered voters with their names, voter affiliation, and address AND IT’S PUBLIC RIGHT HERE ON THE INTERNET LOL you people don’t realize how fucked we are yet.
Get fuckt DOdGE!
