FBI Caught Spying on Lawful Gun Owners—You
Won’t Believe Why

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/4/2025 7:28:12 PM

The ATF and FBI have been monitoring gun purchases made by California residents to bust them for violating the state’s assault weapons ban. Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently revealed that the ATF and FBI have been using the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to surveil lawful gun owners to help the Golden State enforce their gun control laws. In a recent “Minute Man Moment” episode, GOA’s Ben Sanderson broke down the operation, noting that the FBI, initially tasked with targeting violent gangs and cartels, has instead been “using unconstitutional investigations, not to enforce federal, but state gun control laws.” Sanderson explained that federal and state law enforcement

Don't believe what you read. There are MANY ATF and FBI agents ordered to "circumvent" laws. Former FBI Director Christopher "Wicked" Wray.

I've said it a million times and its still true. The only information the government wont abuse is that which they do not have. I am a perfectly legal American with a CC permit from before we went Constitutional Carry. There is no reason in the world I shouldn't have a gun. Still, I avoid buying new. Better to buy used from a private owner who you dont know and pay cash. No receipts. Its a risk but not as big a risk as the feds knowing your business.

When I took the class, I never got the conceal carry permit for this reason. Right now they have no way to know if I have a gun. Gun registration gives them a list of addresses to go collect guns, when they manage to outlaw them.

The overall blame is on Congress. They create agencies and allow them to operate without oversight. That results in abuse of citizens by bureaucrats and budgets that are not controlled. Morons like Adam Schiff can serve on committees without knowing what they are doing and why.

Former New York Rep. George Santos is facing an 87-month prison sentence for his part in a fraud scheme. The Justice Department detailed its case against Santos in a 26-page letter to United States District Judge Joanna Seybert. Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney John J. Durham, who was appointed by the Trump administration, submitted the letter. Durham is following up on an investigation spearheaded by Biden administration EDNY attorney Breon Peace, who saw Santos plead guilty to several charges, including wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in August 2024.

A dark web doxxing website targeting Tesla owners and allies of Elon Musk appears to be compiled from hacked data originally stolen from a massive ParkMobile app breach in 2021, according to records obtained by a data privacy group. The site, known as DogeQuest, first appeared in March and publishes names, home addresses, contact details, and other personal information tied to Tesla drivers and Department of Government Efficiency staff. Marketed as a hub for anti-Musk “creative expressions of protest,” the platform has been linked to real-world vandalism and remains live on the dark web. Federal investigations into DogeQuest are already underway,

Allegedly, Barack Obama was going to take a step back from meddling in politics after the 2024 election, but he spoke at Hamilton College this week, and, of course, he had to weigh in on the new Trump administration. His stunning display of historical revisionism and self-righteous indignation would be comedic if it weren't so dangerous to our republic. "Uh, let... Imagine if I had done any of this," Obama pontificated to his adoring audience, playing his favorite game of hypotheticals while conveniently ignoring his own track record. “Let, let, let me just...

Former White House doctor Kevin O’Connor will be among those grilled by House Republicans for hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the American public, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) told The Post. “Dr. Kevin O’Connor will absolutely, positively be implicated in the cover-up of this.

Rep.

"Cambodia proposes to negotiate with Your Honorable’s administration at the earliest convenient time and wishes to request that your esteemed government consider postponing the above-mentioned tariff implementation," he wrote on Friday.

The more we learn about Kamala Harris’ disastrous campaign, the more entertaining it gets. It’s also a little baffling. The core of her team was seasoned political operatives from the Obama operation who knew how to win elections. Then again, that was a different Democratic Party, one not soaked in far-left wokeism. Democrats knew how to reach voters to win elections. Now, that coalition is dead, as the youth flocked to the GOP, union workers went MAGA, and immigrant voting communities swung 23 points toward the GOP. There was no way Democrats were going to win. Neither Kamala Harris nor Joe Biden was going to beat Donald Trump.

How to fix our broken asylum system and

President Donald Trump and his team have been cracking down hard on border enforcement and on the worst illegal migrants still in the country — great. But a longer-term fix — also of great use in speeding deportations now — requires cleaning up the mess of US “law” regarding the supposed rights of border-jumpers, as well as our obsolete asylum system. Gridlocked not just on party lines but by ideologues and interest-group lobbying, Congress has failed for decades to update these laws; instead, activist judges and presidential decrees have created “legal” roadblocks to evicting people here illegally.

President Donald Trump‘s sweeping tariffs, announced Wednesday, have received strong support from the U.S. shrimp industry, which sees them as an opportunity for survival. After peaking in the 1990s, the U.S. shrimp industry has faced a precipitous decline over the past 15 years. Cheaper imports of farmed shrimp, facing no import duties, have undercut U.S. wild-caught shrimp. The U.S. shrimping industry has lost half of its market value since 2021, according to the Southern Shrimp Alliance, ending the businesses of many.

Carville alluded to France during World War II when some women faced humiliation, including head-shaving, for allegedly collaborating with Nazis. The strategist, with an empty or near-empty wine glass on his nightstand, said he does not believe Trump “collaborators” should be assaulted but said they must at least face an “intellectual reckoning.”

In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.
