By federal law, the ATF cannot create a gun registry, but all the building blocks for a future registry are falling into place especially with the scanning of documents.
ATF Keeping 920+ Million Firearm Records with Almost All Digitized
SIDE QUESTION: I wonder why the term "fire" arms has become the term upon which prosecutions are based when the framers used the term arms ?
Now to address current events and the obnoxious contributions of most government agencies and their staffs including the ATF (BATFE), one of the more undesirable and unnecessary departments among many. Let them keep 920 Million Firearm records and divide them equally among all BATFE Agents so that when the 920 Million Arms align against these assholes in reality, they can be shoved up the ass of every agent with even distribution.
Some Americans know that "freedom" is priceless yet requires a willingness to pay the ultimate price. It's been too seldom and too remote for most Americans to comprehend the savagery and disregard for mankind that accompanies tyranny when good men do nothing. Most decent people cannot even imagine the pain, torture and death methods that are inflicted upon them after good men stand silent and thereby forfeit their rights and duties to preserve themselves and their families.
The BATFE and their ilk will regret being on the wrong side of history when Americans that have been patient to a fault by willingly accepting the mandates, or at least not attacking people that have been vaccinated even though it's obvious that those folks are the health risk and danger. The other side of that condition is the immense sense of bottled up angst/anger that will result in a much needed elimination of bloated FEDERAL bureaucracies when the unlawful 920 million records are used to invade homes and businesses purposed to remove the last Mohicans by a military action and their children (by forced Vaccinations) there will be a well deserved counter attack that may not end until every known traitor and their extended families are permanently eliminated.
David Koresh demonstrated the intestinal fortitude required for freedom to survive the attacks by cowards like Clinton, Reno, and the FEDERAL stooges that had earlier murdered Sammy Weaver (14 years old) and Vicki Weaver (holding a baby in her arms) at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, without suffering the consequences for attacking a small family living in a remote cabin hurting no one with over 400 FEDERAL (pussies) Agents. Not one man that values family, country, and especially those that have taken an oath (and took it deadly serious) when enlisting in the military are biding their time, restraining their anger, and adhering to the dictates of the framers to suffer injustice to that point where it can no longer be tolerated so as not to put the country into chaos for slight or transient reasons. But the day these cocksuckers start dealing their death warrants upon American children will be the day they signed their own death warrants.
After 2 years of the current insane and illogical attack upon freedoms of every sort, freedom of religion, assembly, speech, and etc., hardly anyone with a sense of what the agenda is, also knows the reason for mass graves. The perps are openly discussing and promoting the end of you and your family. The AI that will replace you and other useless eaters sooner than you can imagine.
Even a pacifist bunny rabbit will fight to the death when cornered. That bunny rabbit is humanity.
