They don’t need to kick down your door anymore. They just pull out a credit card.
Right now, the federal government is purchasing massive commercial databases packed with personal information: your location history, your browsing habits, your interests and hobbies. Anything a data broker is willing to sell, Washington is willing to buy.
And gun owners are a prime target.
This isn’t paranoia. This is documented. The intelligence community and federal law enforcement agencies are using purchased data to build profiles on Americans — without a warrant, without probable cause, and without ever going before a judge.
They’re calling it “legal” because of a gaping loophole in our privacy law. Under current interpretations, the government doesn’t need a court order to buy information that a private company has already collected. The Fourth Amendment says they can’t take it. But apparently no one told them they can’t just purchase it instead.
And that’s before we even get to FISA Section 702.
Section 702 was sold to the American people as a tool for surveilling foreign terrorists. But here’s what they didn’t tell you: any time a foreign target communicates with an American, that American’s data can be swept up too, no warrant required.
Don’t forget: the Biden administration formally classified gun owners as “Militia Violent Extremists.”
Now pair that authority with AI-powered data processing that can sort, cross-reference, and analyze millions of records in seconds, and you have the infrastructure for a surveillance state that targets gun owners at a scale no individual agent ever could. You essentially have an AI-powered gun registry that doesn’t even require a specific gun record, something an anti-gun administration would take advantage of.
The databases, the AI tools, the commercial data pipelines — they’re all still there. Any future anti-gun administration can pick up exactly where they left off and use this surveillance architecture against law-abiding Americans who simply choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
This isn’t a hypothetical. The pieces are already in place. GOA is fighting back.
We are proud to support Rep. Warren Davidson’s Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act and Sen. Mike Lee’s Security and Freedom Enhancement (SAFE) Act, two critical pieces of legislation that would close the commercial data purchase loophole and restore constitutional warrant requirements to government surveillance.
Congress needs to hear from gun owners. That’s why I’m asking you to sign GOA’s official letters urging your senators to pass the SAFE Act and your representative to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act.
No warrant. No purchase. No exceptions. Sign the letters today to help us keep fighting.
