The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR by an official who was not allowed to speak publicly.
Can you prove that?
Several states require firearm registration, as does the fed for certain types of firearms.
That’s an interesting way of spelling, “no.”
Most states do not require firearms registration. There’s a handful that explicitly prohibit it. As far as states that have a general firearms registration is concerned, it’s limited to Hawaii and DC, so sure… you’ll get some people on a list there.
CA, CT, NY - there’s only a registry for certain types, not all.
There’s also no federal firearms registry whatsoever.
All they have to do is grab a copy of the NRA membership roster and mandate that gun stores turn over sales records for purchases of guns or ammunition.
I guarantee they can get you on a list pretty quick if they want to.
Yep, because cash isn’t a thing and everyone that owns a gun is an NRA member.
If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it’ll happen.
Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.
Also, it’s really easy to make re-loaded ammo.
You have to show ID to buy ammo now. They don’t take a picture of your ID and send it off somewhere when that happens, they just make sure that you’re old enough to buy it (like alcohol or cigarettes). For me, they look at me and see that I’m over 40 and that’s good enough to be my ID.
I don’t know where you’re coming up with your bullshit but you should stop. It’s a waste of your time, and it’s all wrong.
Do you not think the feds could pass a law saying that sellers have to keep a list of everyone who buys guns or ammo?
Honestly, I’m really curious at this point why commenters here are so absolutely convinced that they couldn’t.
Lmfao, no. Just stop.
The feds DO NOT PASS LAWS!
Gun manufacturers have already been caught giving warranty registration info to political action groups.

But the answer isn’t “no”. There are lists. That’s what the registry is. It’s a literal list of people who own firearms.
So if a list is < 1% complete, that’s good enough?
It’s good enough that it should be a concern, given the current admin with access to those lists.
What about all those guns I bought privately with cash and then buried? Good fucking luck gubbermint.
Bro…
I know, right? I thought all the gun owners lost them in a boating accident. I have no idea why so many gun owners take their entire collection fishing.
The fish have had it too good for too long! They must face the wrath of fire, thunder, and lead!
Require LOL yea and they require car insurance too! Still doesn’t matter!
