If she didn't mention it to them (her employer), I'd like to know how they found out that information.
That was his point, because he didn’t. They aren’t supposed to know this sort of thing, but not only do they, but it attracted attention and concern. At least that is what he swears by.
Government doesn’t need a Registry if we do it among ourselves. The people who do these records will gladly turn these over when asked.
People, as smart as you all are you must Know that Elements of Big Bro have been ( at least ) Listening to phone calls for Decades. When Ed came out years ago to disclose what spying was going on it was really OLD NEWS because what he disclosed had already been Openly reported on by news organizations for many, many years, or decades.
SO, who knows what? At all levels except the very Top of government do not directly readily know who has what. One indirect way for lower levels of government to snoop, spy(?), etc is because all financial transactions are recorded, period.
When individuals employed in semi-sensitive or sensitive positions, others that may interact with said individual~s are likely monitored and or tracked for unusual activities and this is not difficult to do as the info is already being recorded it just has to be called up and viewed / reviewed by a person in gov or employed by gov to check it out, verify the info.
How many have gotten firearms through "Mail Order?" Well Many FFLs that mail order will run a BC 1st ( for obvious reasons ) and when you receive it your info is run again, so there's two places that have your info, possibility 3 (NICS).
Then, as a whole people JUST Give their info out with no problem. Yes, Face Book, Smart phones, etc, etc.
Hell, even here on this forum, including "Private Messaging."
The power of distraction:
A border patrol agent stopped a man on a bicycle with 2 bags in a basket. He asked the man "What is in the bags?" The man replied "Sand." After searching the bags the border patrol agent found nothing but sand. The next day the same border patrol agent stopped the same man on a bicycle with 2 bags of sand. The border patrol agent again asked the man "What is in the bags?" The man again replied "Sand." After searching the bags again he found nothing but sand. This went on for weeks. The same man on a bicycle with 2 bags of sand comes through his border. The border patrol agent finally asks the man: "Look, you come here every day on a bicycle with 2 bags, I search the bags and find nothing but sand. Now, I'm taking off my badge, I'm just a common man just like you. But I have to know "'What is it that you are smuggling into my country?'" The man replied "OK I will tell you what I'm smuggling into your country. I'm smuggling bicycles."
So, the power of distraction, so what,,?
All the social media platforms have some sort of "Privacy Policy " right? Overall it doesn't mean Squat.
Why?
How many times has FB been called on the carpet for violating peoples Rights? Well every time they are called to answer and be held accountable there's some Sob Theater that the Spying was an oversight and they won't do it again, etc, etc, etc.
And they all keep doing it, period.
They keep doing it with our information, period. Bottom line, how much of the personal info ends up on a gov server or is readily made available to Big Bro or Elements of Big Bro?
The following question should not have to be raised, BUT, if a New Social Media company started and freely told it's potential customers that they are in fact a Government Organization and All Your Personal Info will be kept confidential how many would that platform? I think some would, many would not.
Oh, the distraction example above? The Sand is asking for Forgiveness ( over and over ) when in fact The Masters keep stealing our info, period.
Concerning some notorious group~s Raiding a FFL's 4473 files? Yah, yes transactions are on paper, but decades ago that may have been a primary & positive way to ID owners, however any more I believe it would be a Local Jurisdiction that issues, lets say for NC, Pistol Permits.
States in The Northeast Corridor are worse because they ( State Gov ) want to know much more. My point is primarily to ID gun owners, not specifically what is owned because that changes all the time.
For those of you that believe Gov follows the Constitution you may want to research "
Abramski v. US." It involves a piece of paper (Not a BOS) that was discovered ~ obtained through false pretenses.
Then there's this,,, Oh, BTW substitute the main object for about anything
SO Sisters & Brothers In Arms, don't get Too Excited about believing you had it all figured out because when Big Bro records all money transactions, listens in on ph conversations ( and more), can park a camera at 20,000 feet and determine if you have firearms and how many Long Guns you have ( short guns 60/40 ) I think we would Hope that Good Elements in gov are behaving themselves.
FWIW
