Pamnesia Building List of Gun Owners

Tuesday, October 14, 2025

The Pam Bondi Justice Department continues its anti-Second Amendment engagements, this time instructing a court to deny universal relief to all gun owners and, for perhaps the first time ever, asking a court to force a plaintiff to hand over its private membership list

The complaint in Reese v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, originated in 2020 when gun rights groups and individual plaintiffs challenged Louisiana's prohibition on handgun purchases for adults under 21. In January of this year, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned a previous District Court ruling and sent the case back down for review, as we reported.

Good job Republican gun-owners and Libertarians!

On 5 Nov 2024 YOU voted for a twice-impeached, felony-convicted, pedophilic, racist oligarch who is acting directly against YOUR economic, medical, and as we see, societal interests.

With all of the Palantir technologies and warrantless searches through dozens of databases, the Trumpf junta will be able to identify American gun-owners without requesting lists from NRA-type groups, but this will them a bit longer.

"Hmm, this taxpayer in Oklahoma claimed a deduction for a holster. Say, this fellow in Georgia bought ammunition at a Walmart. This man sought relief for his Tennessee state felony conviction," etc etc.

If they want to, it won't be that hard to figure out who owns what.

Card purchases of ammo will give a history of caliber(s).

Magazine purchases will indicate what actual guns (they're usually model specific).

And the 4473 form is supposed to be deleted/discarded by the government once background check is complete.

If they really wanted to, they could require FFLs to turn in the retained 4473s and they'll know every gun ever purchased by every person from every store. They already have them from any FFL that's gone out of business.

#4: Yup, that's good analysis from an experienced firearm owner. I gave up my weapons decades ago. I hope Republican gun-owners are happy to have elected an unstable fascist to be their POTUS. FAFO.

Arguing that an injunction should only apply to parties before the court is standard fare in litigation. So sayeth the SC, recently. Thus the class actions challenging the Buffoon's b******t. Needing to identify the persons the injunction will apply to is a reasonable and necessary request.
