I just heard from a friend who had a frightening story to tell. Turns out he has a friend who works for the NSA. Apparently, the NSA has been getting the records of gun buyers from the FBI. I guess the program works like this...
Person enters gun shop,
Person files background check paperwork,
Gunshop sends background check info to government,
Government fun on the flip...
So when the goverment gets the info, they have the phone number and other personal information and they do the background check.
All this information is sent to the NSA to be added to the database with phone records and other information you provided for the background check.
This program will allow the NSA to identify potential terrorists and to know what type of weapons they may have purchased through legal channels. Ultimately it doesn't matter if they use an alias because the NSA tracks phone numbers and addresses to find the terrorist patterns.
Attempts to get the FBI, DOJ or NSA to confirm this report have resulted in no comment due to the sensitive nature of this type of intelligence gathering program.
Fortunately, the NRA will likely have no problem with this new revelation because gun owners who are not planning on doing something wrong have nothing to fear.
