What, the gun nuts don't like having their private information shared? I'm shocked.

Information is power!
And who uses warranty cards or did I misread?

This is quite an alarming revelation. The misuse of personal data for political purposes raises serious concerns about privacy and ethics. It's crucial for the responsible authorities to thoroughly investigate these claims to ensure transparency and respect for individual rights.

So what I'm hearing is that we were always keeping track of guns in more or less exactly the way the gun control people wanted and we just weren't actually doing anything with that because child murder is profitable.

Great. Outstanding. Couldn't be happier.

What the hell did they expect?

Being a left-leaning gun owner in America means having better access to better guns than most people globally, but also comes with the constant looming awareness that the companies who make those guns don't consider you part of their customer base, or even really human.

Sincere ?: Why not sue the gun industry orgs directly?

People do try. There is not a lot of political will on the right to make it happen. https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/policy-areas/other-laws-policies/gun-industry-immunity/

Lololol. You mean they dont like it when people keep track of them? Say like women and their bodies, minorities, etc

An association of firearms owners that actually is not a PR arm of the gun manufacturing industry would be good. They could actually advocate for responsible gun policies and public safety and mental health issues among veterans and shit like this!

Unfortunately this will fall on deaf ears from the “if you’re not doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide” crowd.

Ironically they’re also the “ATF is gay” and the “come and take it people”
