“The government must not be allowed to digitize our rights away. Let this be a wake-up call. Stay armed with the truth—and stay involved. The future of the Second Amendment may depend on what you do today.”
As the federal government rolls out its sweeping artificial intelligence strategy—ingesting “all government data” into machine learning models—gun owners have every reason to be alarmed.
Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, recently confirmed that “all the government data that the government has is going to be ingested into models” to improve citizen services, including permits, taxes, and healthcare. That’s not just parking passes and passports—that potentially includes firearm transaction records, too.
This raises a red flag for anyone following the ATF’s quiet construction of a digital database of gun owner records—a practice that violates federal law but has continued for years under both Democrat and Republican administrations. Despite clear legal prohibitions against a centralized registry, the ATF currently maintains nearly one billion firearm transaction records, many of them digitized and partially searchable.
