ATF's Illegal Gun Registry Now Enhanced with Artificial Intelligence

First, a look at various stories from across the nation regarding 2nd Amendment rights, such as Mr. McCloskey in St. Louis finally (after 5 years) has his AR-15 returned to him.

Then, Wall St. executives are deathly afraid of supporting gun control for fear of Trump having them arrested.

New Jersey politicians attempt to exempt themselves from their own gun control laws.

MAIN STORY

The ATF is using AI to finish their illegal gun registry, in direct violation of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 which forbids the creation and maintenance of one.

Royce explains why it's time to severely punish everyone involved with this illegal action.

Play the facts about the second amendment And never ever forget that all gun control
balls are nothing less than over an act of aggression against the American people
and their rights Exercise your rights in a safe way Stupidity to think that someone
hell bent on violating the law against murder will magically be stopped by a gun
control law. ♪ Politicians that infringe on our God -given rights ♪ ♪ He calls them
out, he's not here to play ♪ ♪ So turn it on to the end,
crank it up ♪ ♪ Royce Bartlett and the shooting straight show ♪ ♪ Let's go ♪
Alright now you heard the man he said let's go so let's go we are locked loaded
and loud on the shooting straight radio podcast. This is the program primarily about
firearms and the second amendment with a heavy emphasis on the Second Amendment, and
all things pertaining thereto. I am Royce, your oh so lovable,
huggable, squeezable host, still saturated with gunshot residue, toxic masculinity,
and a faint yet oh so wildly tantalizing whiff of the cologne of my people. Hops
number nine, you better believe it. I also like my coffee black in my tea in the
harbor. Yeah, we got a lot to talk about today when I first remind you that you
can catch the Shooting Straight Radio podcast on the Shooting Straight Radio podcast
Facebook page. Check out the new logo there. You'll see it. It's the microphone with
a cowboy hat on it. Check that out. It's really gaining a lot of attention and I
really appreciate all the feedback about it. You can follow that page there for
episodes, articles, and other updates that I like to post there that are pertinent
to the Second Amendment, so give it a follow there. Also, on each episode page,
scroll down a little bit and you'll see the links to all of my sponsors' websites.
Make sure you give them, just give them a look. Check them out and shoot them a
little note saying, "Hey, heard about you on the Shooting Straight Radio podcast."

up at shooting straight radio podcast at gmail .com or shooting straight radio show
at gmail .com and I get those emails and other queries directly and I will respond
very quickly. So hit me up there and we'll talk, all right? So what I'm going to
start doing at the beginning of each program from now on because it's impossible for
me to cover everything that is pertinent to our Second Amendment and other things
that are going on in the litigious world, the world of legislation and things too,
I can't keep up with them. I'm not sure anybody can. Unless I was putting out a
podcast every single day, I'm not even sure then that I'd be able to get everything
out that needs to be said. So I'm going to start this little burb with a few
breeze -throughs of certain Second Amendment relevant articles, and I'll post the links
of these articles on each page. I just want to give a quick burb about each one.
Many of you remember, to start with, the BLM riots, the Black Lives Matter riots
back in St. Louis back in 2020, where the group of thugs,
BLM protesters decided that they were going to march into the home of a man and
wife there, the McCluskies, if you remember the name, who came out brandishing an AR
-15 and a semi -automatic handgun and basically stopped all of them people cold as
they were sitting there basically saying, "I'm going to take that front bedroom and
I'm going to take that room there and all. Basically, these people talking about
invading these people's homes and throwing them out and stealing their home from them
basically. Well, the McCluskey's had something to say about that. Now, that was back
in 2020. Remember, Mr. McCluskey just now got his AR -15 back.
Yeah, five years of litigation just to get back his personal property that should
never have been taken from him in the first place. Now, did he do everything right
in that incident? No, I don't think he did, especially tactically speaking. He should
have stayed inside his house. Yeah, let them kick the door open and keep your guns
trained on the doors and the windows and anybody coming through it get shot. Make
sure you got plenty of magazines on hand, too. But anyway, five years. Okay,
now this brings me to something that I say to people in my shop all the time.
When they start coming in and look at all the pretty staccatos and some of the
other Gucci guns that some of the manufacturers put out, really nice race guns,
and they're going, oh, I'd like to get one of them. And I say, what you going to
use it for? Well, I might carry And I say, okay, what if you have to use it?
Well, I'll just use it, I guess. Well, what happens in the aftermath?
You understand, you're not gonna have that gun for anywhere from three to five years
because it's gonna go through the court system. It's gonna be part of the evidence
and you're not gonna get it back until it is no longer necessary for evidence. Yes,
and Mr. McCluskey just got his back after five long years. All right.
Also in the news, the Wall Street executives recently,
let it be known that they're afraid Donald Trump will arrest them if they back any
gun control. And I started thinking about that. You know what? They should fear
arrest. No, really. No, they should. They should fear being arrested because backing
gun control, in my not -so -humble opinion, is nothing more than collusion with
treason. That's exactly where you're financing treason. When you lend your money to
the disarmament of any American citizens, you are advocating for treason against those
people, in this case against the entirety of the United States.
That is an act of war as far as I'm concerned. Warfare, one of the tactics of
warfare is essentially disarming your enemies. And that's exactly what these people
are trying to do when they try to whip up these gun control laws and people like
the financiers there and on Wall Street support them and fund these efforts.
They should all go to jail.
the elite — I'm tripping over my tongue here — especially the elitist elected,
you know, the ones in high places that are better than you and I, the ones that
are cut from a higher moral fabric than you and I, and people who are superior in
intellect and in principle than the rest of us. Yeah, you know, those people —
yeah, they don't really hate guns. They hate conservative guns.
How many times have we said that over the last few years? So what I'm going to do
now, I'm going to read a little excerpt from an article from Ammo Land. And let me
pull it up here. Give me just a second. Ah, here we go. Here it is. Let me pull
it here. Come on. Hit the right button, Royce. There we go. An article by Mr.
F. Ryle, who's an editor -in -chief at Amoland, and the title of the article is
"Shocking! New Jersey politicians move to exempt themselves from gun control laws they
enforce on you." That's just stunning, isn't it? Why, who would have ever thought
that morally dyslexic communist scumbags might do something like that? But Here's a
little blurb from the article. In a jaw -dropping display of hypocrisy,
New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill that will give themselves and their top
staffers sweeping firearm privileges. Privileges they continue to deny the average law
-abiding citizen. Assembly Bill A5958, introduced on July 24th,
2025 by Assemblyman Robert Oth, who, by the way, is a Republican allegedly,
and Gregory Meyer, a Republican also, with co -sponsorship from Assemblyman Sean Keane,
seeks to a limp-- a limp-- I'm getting ahead of myself and putting two words in
one, seeks to exempt elected officials and their chiefs of staff from nearly all of
the state's draconian gun laws. Under the proposal, they would be allowed to carry
handguns without a permit, possess rifles and shotguns without firearm purchaser IDs,
and transport firearms throughout the state as long as they complete a state -approved
training course. Don't tell me that's not a two -tier justice system right there.
Yes, guns for me, for you, I'm sorry, I am so wound up,
I am tripping over my tongue. Guns for me, but not for thee is what I meant to
say. So have we not been calling that for some time? Yes,
again, they're better than you. Yes, all of you New Jerseyans, those elected
officials that you put into office and based on their claims that they were going
to uphold and defend the Constitution, those are the ones that have now turned
around and stuck a giant knife in your back while feeding themselves all of your
rights that they took from you. That's what they're doing. They're saying we can do
it. You can't. Why? Why? What makes you people morally superior to the rest of the
people that you deem to be beneath you, hmm? Yeah, I just love to know that.
Well, it's a shame that those lawmakers there in New Jersey aren't of the same
of some in North Carolina who recently overrode the veto on a bill that would let
armed that would let teachers be armed in schools. Yes, they basically scrubbed the
the governor's veto. Here's an article or a piece of it from by Joe Bruno.
It says North Carolina lawmakers override veto on armed teachers bill. The North
Carolina House and Senate have overridden the North Carolina Governor's veto on a
bill that allows private school teachers and volunteers to carry weapons (small caveat
here) if approved by the school administration. Proponents argue that it addresses the
lack of school resource officers. Well, that's exactly what it does. But not only
that, It addresses the lack of police presence,
mm -hmm, which is one of the mobilizing fact, one of the catalyzing factors of these
incidents, of these mass shootings in gun -free zones, in schools. Yeah,
so I'm glad that's what this does. It addresses that lack. There needs to be more
there. Yes, just like we pump water into all these schools so that at the first
hint of flame and smoke the water pours out of the ceiling out of sprinklers and
drowns the problem so that nobody dies. That's what we did. That's what this is.
They're putting people in schools with guns and training them and saying, "Okay, if
some scumbag walks in here to start shooting kids, You shoot him. Repeatedly.
In the face. Yes.
But opponents raise concerns about potential risk. One,
even questioning the right to own a gun. Oh boy. Yeah. Right up my alley. Bring
it, baby. Matthews, North Carolina representative, Laura Bud,
BUDD, expressed her concerns about the safety implications of the bill.
Number one, honey, you don't know crap about public safety, so don't sit there and
fancy yourself to be an expert and throw your willfully ignorant opinion into the
mix. She highlighted a scenario. Okay, what is a scenario?
What is it? What's a scenario? It's an Imagination, it's something you dreamed up
based on what little information you have about the subject. That's right,
limited information crafts ignorant scenarios. Yeah,
they always craft these things. Well, what about this? What this could happen? You
know, yeah, y 'all are the same Democrat communists that predicted rampant shootouts
when states passed permitless carry and they never came to pass. Yeah,
your scenarios never come true. You're the same hatefield swine that voted against
trauma kits in the school classrooms because y 'all wanted as many dead kids as
possible to boost your civilian disarmament schemes. And now, the following is what's
known as saying the quiet part out loud. 'Cause how many times do we hear from the
Democrats, "No one's coming for your guns." Nobody wants to take your guns. And that
is a lie from the depths of hell. Nobody wants your guns. Oh,
we believe in the Second Amendment, but, mm -hmm, Miss Budd then stated,
"That's a tragedy that we can avoid if we simply act with common sense." You know
what y 'all call common sense and what real common sense is, or usually two
diametric opposites? Yeah. Now this is common sense, lady, okay?
Yeah.
This is common sense. Yes, putting armed teachers in schools is common sense." She
said, "And stop thinking that somehow owning a gun and possessing a gun is a God
-given right from the U .S. Constitution or the North Carolina Constitution.
Okay, if it's God -given, how can it be from the Constitution? It can be recognized
by the Constitution, but it didn't come from the Constitution, the Second Amendment
grants nothing. It protects something, but it's only as strong as those who are
willing to defend the right that it protects. Yeah, she said it's not.
It's not a God -given right to own a gun. Really? Well,
real common sense and the founders both say otherwise, lady,
but Also, how is it common sense to force victims to wait longer for police to
arrive when there could be somebody already there who's armed and trained?
Remember, defenselessness has failed thus far 100 % of the time.
It has a perfect record of failure and yet you want to maintain that status of
defenselessness. For that matter, how is it common sense to stuff hundreds of
defenseless victims in waiting in the giant target -rich environments known as gun
-free zones in the first freaking place? My goodness lady, you're about as sharp as
a bowling ball. Wow. When we come back after this brief commercial timeout,
we're going to pick on my favorite group of people? That's right, the Alpha Tango
Foxtrot. Yep, go get you a sandwich, get something to drink, get your butt right
back here. We've got more to go on Shooting Straight.

Let's create your musical identity Thank you All right now we were talking in the
first portion of the program About some things that were in the news and now as
promised We're going to beat up on my favorite punching bag the ATF the Bureau of
Alcohol Tobacco firearms and explosives at really big fires. And I tell you what,
these people just cannot help themselves. They are a bunch of treasonous, almost said
something bad there, treasonous twits who just can't seem to stop infringing the
rights of the people to keep in bear arms. It's like it's in their blood. It's
like there's an evil demonic spirit that invades every one of these scumbags. As
soon as they get hired on and enter into any ATF agency building, it seems like
the hateful demons just despise liberty and despise good things and Christians and
the Jews and everything else. Those begin to sink deeply into the craniums of the
ATF agents. They just, it's like, it's like a virus, a mental virus almost.
They can't help themselves and they can't stop. They can't give up the fight against
your rights. Well, let's start with something because the crux of what I'm talking
about here is how the ATF has been
Well, it's been, you know, actually back in 2022, it was found out that they had
been compiling and were continuing, continuing to compile a,
an illegal gun registry. That's what they're doing. Remember,
2022, back in 2022, under Biden's fraudulent administration that was orchestrated and
directed by Obama, The ATF was caught and they admitted to possessing 920 million
searchable firearms records. Did you remember that? Remember, we talked about it on
this program, actually, and the congressional representative won Michael Cloud,
who is a Republican out of Texas, and at least 50 other Republican Congress members,
they sent out a letter to the Alpha Tango Foxtrot and they were asking them
questions about their rapidly expanding database of personal information about America's
gun purchases and the buyers themselves. Here's a little excerpt from that article
that I referenced back in 2022. They said, "We are concerned that this administration
is leveraging its power to establish a federal gun registry. Moreover,
we are opposed to a recent proposed legislation that would require federal firearms
licensees to facilitate the creation of a federal gun registry.
Hmm, how about that? Y 'all remember that? According to a response letter from the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and really big fires, they
actually admitted that they have 920 ,664 ,765 records and that was as of the date
of that inquiry and answer back in 2022. It has grown exponentially since then.
Yeah, that's over 900 million records of gun purchasers and gun purchases.
Yes, the guns that they bought, those guns are now directly associated with the
purchasers. How is that comforting or what, huh? Oh Royce, but that was back in
2022. We've got Trump in there. Well, you just hang on, baby. You Yeah, there's
some very revealing stuff coming out, and I'm not blaming it on Trump I'm blaming
it on the totalitarians. It just can't seem to freaking help themselves
so I Wanted to just now shock you with another
Another number that that article addressed out of those 920 plus million
Transaction records, almost 866 million of those have already been scanned and
digitized. How are you feeling about that now? Hmm? Well,
and to add to that, from May of 2022, an article where the gun owners of America,
GOA, and you better join them if you don't, Well, don't try to tell me you're in
the fight. If you don't, come on, you can get active, get your money in there.
Let's get it going. Um, they released documents that proved that the ATF is keeping
an illegal gun registry. Now that's in direct opposition to the Firearm Owners
Protection Act of 1986 that flat out forbids the keeping of any federal registry or
of guns and gun owners. So what that means is they have been violating that law
since 1986. If you ask me, there's over nine hundred and twenty million offenses
that should be charged to everybody involved with that crap. That's right. And there
should be at least a minimum of 10 years per incident at hard labor that they
should be hit with. Yeah, that means they're gonna be in prison for the rest of
their life. And if they die and come back, they get thrown back into prison. Yeah,
well, I wish it were that easy. But anyway, you get my drift. They have been
keeping this since 1986. They are lawless. This is what you call a criminal.
What do you call people who willfully just ignore established laws?
Not to mention the Constitution, which is a supreme law, but what about other laws
that what do you call them? What do you call people who willingly break the law?
Criminals, that's right. What do you do with criminals? You arrest them then you try
them then you convict them and then you punish them really really good. And if
they're ATF agents, I think we should even go as far as hanging some of them.
Yes, after all, due process, of course, we'll give them the same due process that
they've given other people like Brian Manelowski and Patrick Adamiak and Mr.
Manley and others we've talked about being victimized by the ATF over the years.
Yeah, we'll give them the same due process. How about that.
MOLAN News, according to the article, has reported that the ATF has been scanning
nearly one billion out of business records using Optical Character Recognition,
or OCR, software. If you did not know already, out of business FFLs,
4473 documents from gun sales made over the duration of that business have been
turned over to the ATF. These out of business documents include personal information,
including social security numbers, addresses, height, weight, eye color,
et cetera. The ATF claims that this database is not searchable by name.
This claim is true on the surface because the ATF has disabled the field within the
software, but that field can be easily re -enabled at any time with just a few
clicks of a mouse. And you know, those also honorable ATF agents would never just
make those extra few clicks with a mouse and and enable themselves to search those
database, right? No, no, they would never do that. No, they're such law -abiding,
upstanding, church -going even. Yeah, maybe the first church of Satan.
Yeah, they are morally superior to all of us.
They can obviously be trusted to craft and maintain an illegal Registry illegally,
but then never try to reach into it. And if you believe that,
yeah, fill in the blank. The database is currently searchable by all other fields
except gun owner names. GOA and some members of Congress claim that this constitutes
an illegal gun registry. Well, of course it does.
Representative Michael Cloud has introduced the no retaining every gun in a system
that restricts your rights act or registry act in the House of Representatives.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has introduced a registry companion bill into the Senate.
Well, first of all, why? Why do you need to pass a law to force other people to
pass a law that has already been passed to protect the Supreme Law?
these damn criminals with badges that they're not allowed to craft or maintain a
registry and yet here we are. Gee, it's almost as if they view the Constitution a
lot like your average criminal views gun control laws. Yeah, they both re...
they just refuse to obey them. Mm -hmm. Now you understand why I call ATF agents
criminals with badges. Well, also in an article in Amoland in January of this year
earlier, an article titled, "The Fight Heats Up to Destroy ATF's Illegal Gun Under
Registry." Well, I tell you what, I'll tell you how to destroy it, and Mr.
President, you need to direct Ms. Bondi to do this. I want you to hire a multiple
large teams of agents. We call them constitutional agents.
How about we do that? These agents have a rest power over all other federal
bureaucrats and their agents. And they have the right to go arrest them whenever
they even attempt to violate the supreme law. We enforce the constitution.
You want to fix this? It doesn't happen by passing another dad gum law. You enforce
the supreme law, and you don't need to pass any other law. And you matter of fact,
you craft those teams with former special forces guys, pay them handsomely to and
you tell them flat out at the slightest sign of resistance, you cut them down.
Royce, come on man, you just want to see ATF guys killed. Nope, I want to see
them taken into handcuffs, slammed over the hood of cop cars, dragged off to jail
with no bond, and then received some very stiff sentences. That's what I want to
see. Yeah, but this article said this about the Proposed Registry Act.
"This proposed legislation aims to dismantle the ATF's registry and restore adherence
to the original intent of the Firearms Owners Protection Act. How can you restore
something that was never there? How do you restore adherence to this act when they
have done nothing since the act but violated? I mean it didn't bother them to
violate the Constitution, why the blippity blank? Did you think that the Firearms
Owners Protection Act was going to stop them somehow? Oh, gee, all we need is just
one more law, and that oughta do it, huh?
Had there ever, you know, actually been in the adherence, we wouldn't be talking
about this crap right now. And this is why there needs to be really severe
punishments for federal scumbags who violate our supreme law. You know,
like let's start with a first offense, a 10 -year mandatory sentence at hard labor
for the first offense, plus a $500 ,000 fine, and there's no judicial discretion
allowed during sentencing. The judge must sentence them to 10 years in hard labor.
I'm out for the second offense, and I'm talking about even so much as an attempt
to violate the Constitution is an offense. Your second offense gets you 20 years
mandatory sentence, also at hard labor, and after a public whipping and a good
salting immediately thereafter, and no judicial discretion allowed during sentencing.
Third offense, death by public hanging. Let's just get rid of them. At that point,
they're nothing but treasonous traitors. They're obviously fully intent on violating
the supreme law and the rights protected thereby, and they need to just leave this
life and stand before the supreme judge and give an account for their lousy
existence. But now, here's an article.
Um, let's see, yeah, from, yeah, from this month, the ATF secret illegal gun
registry just got a lot more dangerous. How could it get more dangerous, Royce?
AI.
Mm -hmm. Now, you know, at first, let me just say this, it seems that they're
obviously going to continue to build the apparatus of tyranny, in spite of what the
law says, in spite of President Trump being in office, and all for the purpose of
having that apparatus available for the next Democrat Communist president.
That's what I'm seeing here. They are willfully defying everything, and that's what
makes them criminals. Here's an article by Tread law also posted in ammo land and
they title ATF secret and illegal gun registry just got a lot more dangerous it's
about to be powered by federal government AI hmm isn't that comforting here's the
article as the federal government rolls out its sweeping artificial intelligence
strategy ingesting quote unquote all government data into machine learning models,
gun owners have every reason to be alarmed. Michael Kratzios,
Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, recently
confirmed that quote, "All the government data that the government has is going to
be ingested into models. Why would they do that? Oh, here's their excuse to improve
citizen services, bull fertilizer, including permits.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. And taxes. Oh, yeah. Those citizen services.
Yeah. Somehow it's a service for them to take our money via taxation. Oh,
and also to improve our health care.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like an oncoming tornado,
about an F5. Matter of fact, it sounds like an F7.
That's not just parking passes and passports, the article says. That potentially
includes firearm transactions records too. I bloody guarantee you it is.
This is 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. With a few clicks of the mouse, it'll be even more searchable.
Now, according to FOIA responses and internal ATF BIMOs,
the ATF receives millions of out -of -business dealer records every month.
These records include sensitive data from ATF Form 4473 as in names,
addresses, firearm description, and more. Although ATF claims that this information
cannot be searched by name, it's only because that feature is disabled but not
deleted. With just a few keystrokes, ATF could turn this passive database,
it ain't passive at all, into an active weapon against gun honors. Well, it already
is an active weapon. GOA has gone further exposing that the ATF has encouraged
active FFLs to submit current records, yes, current records,
not out of business records, current records, their current records, voluntarily.
Oh sure, they're saying it's voluntary? Of course, until they make it mandatory.
Even before closing shop, they want them to submit these records, which of course
expands this illegal registry far beyond its already bloated scope. The Trump
administration's recent executive order aims to prevent woke AI, quote unquote,
in federal procurement. It promises that large language models or LMS used by the
government will be ideologically neutral and truth -seeking.
How about truth -finding? How about that? But what about privacy? What about the
enforcement of laws like 18 USC, Statute 926,
Paragraph A, Section 3, which prohibits the federal government from maintaining a
firearms registry? No where in the policy, excuse me,
is there a guarantee that firearms ownership data will be excluded from AI ingestion.
No safeguard. No carve out. Just blind faith that Democrats will do the "right
thing" with mountains of sensitive information, despite decades of evidence to the
contrary. Amen. Way too much evidence against the government to trust them with
anything, and I do mean anything.
If firearm transaction records become part of these national AI systems,
what's to stop future administrations, what did I say a few minutes ago, or even
foreign actors who compromise the system from querying this data to locate,
target, and harass law -abiding gun owners. Congress is not asleep at the wheel,
at least not all of it. In January 2025, Congressman Michael Cloud and Senator Jim
Rish reintroduced the Registry Rights Act, a direct response to the ATF's illegal
stockpiling of gun owner data. Okay, once again, throwing another law at them is not
going to make them more, you know, conformable to the law. The bill would dismantle
the ATFs out of business records imaging system. You know what I think? No,
no, no. You send one of my special ops teams that I referred to a few minutes
ago, I know we have to create them first. You send them in there to those records
places and use it, and you go have them go in there and seize every computer that
has any of that information and you seize their warehouse. You know, the one where
the floor broke through from the weight of all the 4473 forms. Yes, that actually
happened. And you have them set that thing on fire with incendiaries.
You hadn't let them have a little fun. Give them a couple of magazines of
incendiary rounds or a couple of mini guns full of incendiary rounds, and you set
that crap on fire and you burn it down and you scatter the ashes to the four
winds. Matter of fact, I think we got to whip up a bowl of ashes for each of the
actors involved in keeping that thing and force them to eat it.
Cloud's investigation into this system, along with a damning report by GOA,
revealed how easily this database could be misused to build a door -to -door gun
confiscation list. Hmm, the legislation is refreshingly simple in its goals.
Yes, in its goals. How about impracticality? Do you really think the ATF is gonna
comply with this law too? The only way to force compliance is to send large teams
full of armed people to overwhelm those scumbag agents and if necessary shoot them
if their franger even twitches towards their own guns. That's what you need to do.
That's refreshingly simple to me.
That's what needs to be done. My goodness. Wow.
First, the article continues, "It requires the complete destruction of the ATF's
existing registry." Okay, that's great. Well, how about arresting all the personnel
involved with violating the FOPA and charging them with treason? How about we start
there? Second, it allows gun dealers, I'm sorry, to destroy their records when they
go out of business, reversing Biden -era rules that forced permanent retention.
Yes, the ATF, their original rule was you only have to keep them for 20 years.
Well, I found out that recently that's not true back during the Biden administration.
And I found out from some of my FFL friends who sponsored this program that they
were told you will keep them permanently and you will not discard them, which of
course makes them have to rent storage in some places, or some cases I should say.
Wow.
Permanent, yeah. Third, it prohibits any federal agency from creating or maintaining a
gun registry ever again. Well, yeah, really? Well, what kind of punishments are
prescribed in this bill for all the violators, huh? That's what I want to read. I'm
going to read this bill. I want to read it. I want to to see what punishments are
prescribed for everybody who violates this law and if there are no punishments I'm
going to tell you right now the ATF is going to keep that registry and it will
never be destroyed until you use force. That's all criminals understand.
Overwhelming force.
The only way to force the bill across the finish line the article continues is
sustained pressure from gun hunters across the country. Contact your representatives.
Gee, where have you heard that before? Oh yeah, on this program when I sign off.
Demand passage of this bill. By the way, demand horrific punishments for all the
violators. Royce, you're really keyed up on punishing people. Nope. Just scumbags like
this who have done more to erode the freedoms that were purchased with blood.
Yes, these are the people that need to be punished, more so than the street thugs.
The gun registry must not only be defunded, it must be destroyed. What do you mean
defunded? Who in the blippity blippin' blank is funding this registry presently and
why can you not cut off the funds for it? My word.
And the AI age can only raise the stakes, the article continues, because if this
registry survives, it may not be a human bureaucrat pulling your file. It might be
an algorithm doing the government's dirty work. Number one, they say, call for
immediate deletion of these records, by the way, demand long sentences and heavy
fines for all the violators. Secondly, push for enforcement of existing laws.
What a novel idea. Let's start by enforcing the Supreme Law and demand long
sentences and heavy fines for all the violators. Third, they say, support registry
destruction legislation. Okay, While you're at it, demand long sentences and heavy
fines for all the violators. Didn't they say number, was it number three or four?
Number four,
demand transparency. Yeah, like you're gonna get that from the ATF. Well,
you will if you also demand long sentences and heavy fines for all the violators
and actually follow through with it.
Fifthly, educate and mobilize. Local and state level activism remains one of the best
tools to apply pressure upward and he's not wrong. Host town halls. You could host
town halls or educate other gun owners and make sure this issue does not fly under
the radar. And you know what? If anybody out there is able to organize such a town
hall, please hit me up. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. can, even if it's
just simply advertising it on this program or you want to come speak at it. I
don't care. But if you know how to do one of these and you want to organize one,
well, we can do one. I'd be glad to do one here in my county and I need some
volunteers in the other counties and the other states and you guys set up a town
hall and educate people to these things. If you want, I'll help you put together a
PowerPoint to educate everybody in your state or your county about the dangers of
this registry crap especially being empowered by the AI. The diffusion of unchecked
artificial intelligence with illegally maintained federal firearms records should set
off alarm bells for every freedom -loving American. AI can either empower citizens or
enable tyranny. It depends entirely on who controls the data.
Okay. And who controls the data? Well, there's one particular federal bureaucracy that
controls over 920 million sets of such data, and they've already digitized 866
million of those same records. What do you think it's gonna be used for?
I think they'll be used to empower us, I guarantee you that. There's not enough
moral people up there in Washington DC to help bring that about.
But you know what? The squeaky wheel always gets the grease as they say, so you
contact your reps and you tell them what you want them to push this registry act
and you add that that what I said you tell them you want horrible penalties applied
to all the violators thereof yes I do mean horrible I mean something that makes
them weep and wail and say no I can't do that sentence 10 years at hard labor you
can go break rocks matter of fact you can go till gardens and plant vegetables that
can feed everybody around you, uh, and feed, uh, the other prisoners there as a y
'all can provide for your dad gum cells. Cause I don't, I don't, for the life of
me, cotton, the notion of giving you three hots and a cotton,
no bills for 10 years without making you pay for it in some way, shape, or form
demand punishment. The only thing they Understand? Punishment. Force.
Punishment. That's what they understand. Laws don't mean a dad -gum thing unless
you're willing to enforce them to the instigree. I don't know about you but I'm
ready to enforce the Supreme Law, the Constitution of the United States of America.
So make sure your representatives know that. Don't leave your home without a firearm.
Stay armed up. Stay trained up. And never forget, Incoming rounds always have the
right of way. Voice out.
