The federal government has been using data on Americans’ finances and past gun purchases to conduct warrantless tracking and to deny citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) told the FBI that income estimates are a reason to monitor people’s firearms purchases.
Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America (GOA), told The Epoch Times that the ATF’s “monitoring innocent people” is a serious problem.
