Holy Minority Report, Batman!
Check out this article from Matt Taibi: Financial Big Brother is Watching You - by Matt Taibbi (racket.news)
It details a slide obtained by Jim Jordan’s office from FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network–an arm of the Treasury Department). Apparently the idea was to distribute this to financial institutions so they could “detect customers whose transactions may reflect ‘potential active shooters.’” What in the actual eff?
Knowing the search algorithms would make it easy to load up the system. Of course you might get a visit by FBI or ATF. Buy a nice rifle then spread out stuff like scope, rings, ammo, gun case and you can have over $2500 across 5 vendors.
Exactly! I mean it’s incredibly easy to see how any one of us could end up on this watch list. Like, we’re considered a threat because we have the wrong kind of hobby. This is a bit dystopian, no? Like watching the birth of the digital social credit score. I don’t think the criteria they outlined here is to identify who they say–they aren’t interested in compiling a list of potential mass shooters. Seems they are looking for gun/shooting sports enthusiasts in general. And why would they want to have a list like that??
Yikes. I probably make that list most months 
I wish - I am Jealous!
Welp…I know I made the list for January
