While the findings from the Treasury Department are unfortunate, they are indicative of a sinister pattern at federal agencies. The Weaponization Committee also caught the FBI misusing firearm transaction data by asking Bank of America for records if a customer had made "ANY historical purchase" of a firearm.
Gun Owners of America has also caught the ATF in violation of the Firearm Owners Protection Act's prohibition on a gun registry. The ATF currently has around a billion digital records of firearm transactions in a searchable database.
The fact that the Treasury Department is teaching financial institutions how to search financial data to find gun owners by flagging firearms transactions is concerning.
I was gonna say "shoulda bought them guns a few years ago, now it's too late".
Then I noticed this part :
if a customer had made "ANY historical purchase" of a firearm.
