The government wouldn’t violate your fourth amendment rights by circumventing the constitution and buying your information as a gun owner, would they? Yep. Yes, they would. Man, we are so close to 1776. This is amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And they were caught red handed. Before I jump into this, I want to thank the sponsor of the video, and that’s the Sonoran Desert Institute.

There’s a letter I want to show you. There’s a letter I’m going to show you. I’m going to read it to you. It’s real quick. But I’m getting sick and tired of letters with no repercussions. I’m getting sick and tired of hearings with no repercussions after people are caught violating the constitution. Here’s a letter that was sent to Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House, and Steve Scalise, the majority leader.
And this was sent yesterday. It says, dear Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Scalise, we write to urge you to protect the second and the Fourth Amendment rights of innocent, law abiding gun owners from the Biden administration’s exploitation of a lawless government surveillance loophole. A September 18, 2023 report by the Inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security highlighted how several DHS component agencies, including the Secret Service, bought Americans phone location data without a court order.
DHS is not alone. The Treasury Department inspector general, in a February 18, 2021, letter to Congress, confirmed that the Internal Revenue Service had also purchased Americans phone location data. In addition to these examples, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Defense Intelligence Agency have all admitted to buying Americans’location data without a warrant. Ordinarily, these agencies would need a judge issued warrant before forcing phone or tech companies to turn over their customers location data.
But creative government lawyers have decided that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to Americans sensitive personal data if the government buys it from data brokers. The embrace of this legal loophole by government agencies poses a serious threat to Americans’privacy. It further undoes Congress’s clear intent in protecting precisely this kind of sensitive information through enactment of the Electronic Communications Privacy act of 1986, location information and other private information about Americans lives, including where an american praise, where and when they drive their children to school, and if they have visited a gun store or shooting range.
The threat to Americans Second and Fourth Amendment rights is not limited to the government’s purchase of location data. Commercial data brokers openly sell marketing lists containing the name, address, and other personal information identifying gun owners and shooting fanatics, as well as specialized lists like concealed carry, licensed gun owners, affluent gun owners, and age 70 plus elderly gun owners. Ultimately, the same legal loophole that the Biden administration has embraced to purchase Americans location data could equally apply to the purchase of commercial lists identifying gun owners.
It is vital that any forthcoming legislation to reauthorize section 70, two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act, also called FISA, close the data broker loophole. Congress now has a once in a generation opportunity to update our laws to protect Americans’liberty Americans’right to privacy and the Second Amendment. The House Judiciary Committee passed two bills last year. The Fourth Amendment is not for Sale act and the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance act, both of which included identical language, closing this outrageous loophole.
For decades, Congress has legislatively protected gun owning Americans’rights, but decades old privacy laws will continue in name only if the Biden administration is allowed to continue this brazen surveillance of Americans without court orders. We urge you to ensure the House of Representatives closes the data broker loophole before reauthorizing any warrantless surveillance powers. And here you can see the names of the reps who signed on to this letter.
If this sounds familiar, this is what I told you about this morning as well. I showed you the letter that was uncovered by gun owners of America, where there are data brokers, brokerages out there that are willingly selling our information to whoever wants to buy it. And it’s not that expensive. I looked into it this morning. That video is floating above this. Yeah, gotta be careful what you say.
But you know what I’m thinking, guys and gals, just another infringement on this tyrannical government’s forehead. And it’s almost time to cut the head off the snake, guys and gals, because it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any better anytime soon. We, the people must pull together solidarity. In 2024, we, the people are the ones in power. We the people are. If you want any more information on the second Amendment, good, bad, ugly or indifferent, I’ll bring it to you every single day.
