California Will Let 'Violence Prevention' Researchers Know That You Have a Gun​

An academic field rife with hostility to private gun ownership now gets to know the address of every California owner of a weapon, a weapon part, or ammo.​

Califoria Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law last week A.B. 173, which among other things gives various academics, most of them very likely to be hostile to private gun ownership, access to all the information California collects about the state's buyers of guns, gun parts, and ammunition.

Yes, the law also insists that "Material identifying individuals shall only be provided for research or statistical activities and shall not be transferred, revealed, or used for purposes other than research or statistical activities, and reports or publications derived therefrom shall not identify specific individuals."


Still, whether or not the resultant research as published names a specific person, a gun owner might understandably not be thrilled that people in the business of coming up with reasons why no one should be allowed to own guns (largely true of people in the "gun violence research" field) can easily know their name, address, and all the weapons, parts, and ammo they bought legally. What's more, nothing in the law as written applies any stern level of oversight or punishment over misuse of the information.

Like that will happen. And what will they do with said information? How does this help their research? I have guns and I’ve committed no violence ever so will this be helpful information to us in the end. I think not?

Look how many leaks of personal data were involved with Trump. Anyone doing jail time... ? Disbarred ? ... Nothing..... Anti gun people will be immersed in this data.. NOT using this for their antigun activities NOT going to happen.

It's for blacklists. Same reason they're using the vax mandate, to weed out mostly right wing people and hurt them in reality, even though they know there are better ways to do this that wouldn't cause them economic harm.

We. Must. Find. Unity.

If we don't, we're fucked here. They're coming for our jobs, the minds of our children, our right to free movement. This has got to stop.

CONSTANT non-stop propaganda about Vaccines
CONSTANT non-stop propaganda about compliance
CONSTANT non-stop propaganda about CRT

Government is changing the culture of society. Government is engineering society to their liking

They're backing people into a corner.

Because that's usually a good idea....
