Everything Is Known

One of the most persuasive reasons gun owners give about not wanting the government to register their weapons is the fear of government oppression. Better to not register the weapons at all. 

Yet, modern technology already allows interested parties to know who owns guns. The Trump campaign already had such a database for swing states in 2016, and I’m sure the technology has only improved since then. 

Actually, any organization with resources can put together such a database. The organization could be affiliated with the government, or not. Their reaction could be benign or malign. It hardly matters. 

The call is coming from inside your house.

In 2016 the Trump campaign built a database profiling millions of voters in key battleground states – including the family of Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks. 

It found that both the parents of Thomas Crooks were very likely to be gun owners and shared other gun-related lifestyle indicators.
