A group of Republican lawmakers has now opened an investigation into the Biden Administration after it was revealed that it had been gathering almost one billion records of legal gun sales in the US.

As The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A coalition of Republican lawmakers is investigating the Biden administration over its stockpiling of nearly one billion records detailing Americans’ firearm purchases, according to a copy of the investigation that accuses the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) of planning to “sweep up records of every gun sale in America.”

The probe, spearheaded by Rep. Michael Cloud (R., Texas) and backed by 35 of his colleagues, comes on the heels of a Washington Free Beacon report detailing how the ATF maintains a database of 920,664,765 firearm purchase records—far more than has previously been publicly disclosed. The massive number of records, most of which are digitized in a searchable database, sparked concerns the Biden administration is violating federal laws that bar the government from maintaining a national gun registry.

Now the lawmakers are demanding the ATF come clean about how it is using the database, which the agency claims is primarily used to track guns used in crimes. The ATF also says, however, that the firearm database is often not useful in helping to prosecute gun crimes, fueling concerns the Biden administration’s goal is to track legal gun owners. The lawmakers say their fears are compounded by the administration’s bid to overhaul current gun laws to ensure the records of every licensed firearm dealer in the country ultimately make their way into the federal government’s hands.

Cloud and his colleagues say this change to the law—which would mandate that gun stores keep their records in perpetuity instead of 20 years, as is currently permitted—constitutes a massive federal overreach.

A fear expressed by many conservatives is that the Biden Admin may be using the massive database to unconstitutionally track and monitor Americans who have legally bought firearms.

      1. Three weeks from now you will wish you had started JHyt57863JHo day. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site.

        GOOD LUCK… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤

    1. IMPEACHMENT should only be the first of several steps!!

      STEP 2: IMPEACH Kamala Harris for aiding in the illegal behavior

      STEP 3: GRAND JURY TRIAL for treason and other unConstitutional behavior

      STEP 4: WHEN found guilty, give them both a life sentence at GITMO.

      STEP 5: Repeat Steps 1 thru 4 for Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and every other DC rat!!

    2. Now is the time to bring Article 25 to the front of the House, the democrats harassed Fromer President Trump for 5 years with impeachment and found no grounds for this, but Biden has shown us he isn’t capable of the Office!

    1. It’s astounding as to what this administration is getting away with, and WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO IMPEACH THIS INEPT PRESIDENT! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND THE ELECTED AREN’T PROTECTING US! PERIOD!

      1. This guy is a joke. No one will impeach him because he is protected by the number of people that is controlling him. If these people can not be voted out of office, then alienate them in another way. 1776 was a hell-of-a-way to deal with people, like the British at that time, to deal with it again, now to our own government which wishes to go back to that time, where your thought does not matter. If you agree to this, you are a Socialist; if you disagree, then you are a Racist. These people need to be defeated unless you agree with Hitler. What, if one day, YOU are considered to be the one which should be exterminated? Where does your loyalty lie? Mine lies with all the secret people which have served our Country throughout. They served which will now embolden them to take our Country back by whatever means necessary. There are men here, discharged from the military which are experts in their field which snipers included which their services are now needed.

    2. If they concur lawlessness such a great thing, then take away their hired security and let them deal with themselves amongst the people.

    1. Every day, it’s something else from this Administration, we are being attacked by our elected officials and they have shown us they don’t give a damn about us! Just look at the Jan-6th investigation, it’s corrupt and they know it!

      1. If they would only investigate theirselves, they would find out that most of the DemoRats are corrupt and deserving of dismissal of violating the oath of office they took on inauguration of their office. If they consider Jan 6 as an insurrection, then they are stupid for what which maybe come.

  1. WHAT A SURPRISE I’M SHOCKED HUNTER AND FAMILY HAVE BEEN RUBBING OUR NOSES IN THAT CHINESE POT OF GOLD FOR YEARS NOW, LETS GET THIS IMPEACHMENT HEARING GOING, Seven staffers run, masks are coming off, This woman must be the stupidest public offical ever, or she never bathes, WTF is going on? Lets see, who biden claims is the smartest man alive, he ever met, when he appears before congress, who will ask about the bidens pot of gold, and what they had given for it. Tell a lie, often enough and it becomes the truth, that is the biden corruption philosophy, which will lead to impeachment, jail, and return of ill gotten gains hopefully. About fxxxen time the biden’s have sold America to China time for impeachment hearings, find the pot of gold and what was traded for it, The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has released a new report on the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. The report has found that as many as 9,000 Americans were left behind in Afghanistan during the disastrous withdrawal.it’s obivious what happened in Afghanistan concerning the withdrawal, wrong leadership, wrong commander an chief, wrong president , this is what happens when election fraud is allowed , wrong policy, this will be held high on the biden list of wrongs with impeachement this issue as well as others will insure bidens cowardly un American Chnese bought and paid decisions, he will held up for charges against his oath of office and his acceptance of money from foreign sources. 2022 will bring the truth.

    1. You’re right, Charles. Calm down, though. We need your views and your voice from a level-headed base. When David slew Goliath with a pebble to the forehead he had to have been perfectly well-centered himself.

  2. The brain dead, beady eyed, corrupt piece of feces should be arrested and held without bail, for allowing our southern border to be open to the world. The democrats are the traitors who seek our downfall.

  3. Once that NICS database was implemented it was only a matter of time before some alphabet soup government goon squad found a way to abuse it.

    1. THAT time has long since passed, NASTY NANCY defunded the appeals office years ago, if your name is on the not allowed list through ERROR, you are just Fu**ed,

  4. President Biden is being told what to do about the guns that the citizens hold and purchased. Remember when XI JINPING, THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADER SAID WE HAD TOO MANY GUNS, was the Biden Administration told by the Chinese to do this? I wouldn’t think so, but the ATF is out of control and the Biden Administration has told them to do this, they wouldn’t just do this on their own or would they? When we fill out the 4473-gun purchase record the FBI is supposed to have these records, and the gun we purchase, have they let the ATF get these records, this isn’t the first time they have done this!

  5. LISTEN UP….It Seems BIDEN and the DEMOCRATS are Doing EVERYTHING to GO After AMERICAN PATRIOTS instead of AMERICAS TRUE ENEMIES. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄😇😇😇

  6. Impeach and get that dang RESIDENT out of office.
    Why is this BS allowed to go on anyway??? Others would have to be as brain dead as Biden is if they don’t realize the election was stolen and that many people need to be justly punished for throwing our own government. Are we really a Banana Republic now?????

  7. Biden and the dems are Xi Jing Pings lap panda’s, bought and paid for by the CCP, this country is in real danger with these traitors holding the levers of government.

  8. If the IDIOT keeps this up, he will soon be staring down the barrels of about 400 MILLION firearms, what a JACKWAGON!

  9. This is ONE JACKASS that Cannot be out of office soon Enough, Due to his pahhhty being in control NOTHING will be done about THIS violation of Law, just like hilLIARy clinton and her ILLEGAL server, False “russia collusion Fake news, and paid for lies, Steele Dossier “
