    I was hoping the next civil war would wait until I was free from this mortal coil...

    That's looking a lot less likely in the last few months...

    This article was on Truth About Guns, there is more to it, it is DOJ trying to find out who is illegally exporting the ATN thermal and night-vision scopes (ITAR violators) outside of the US, they want the records of the app users name and IP address to see where they are at in the world, so they can trace back to see how they got the scope outside the US.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    Tracking guns didn't work for Fast and Furious...and those assholes had all of the info. Where's the "national scope registry"? If there's no continuous chain of custody for those scopes, their excuse stinks to high heaven.

    From ATN


    ATN
    5 hrs ?
    American Technologies Network Corp. (“ATN”) today learned of the possible existence of a federal order issued to Apple and Google to provide usernames regarding one of our products, the ATN Obsidian 4. ATN was unaware of these allegations until the publication of a Forbes magazine article entitled, “Exclusive: Feds Order Apple And Google To Hand Over Names Of 10,000+ Users Of A Gun Scope App”.


    ATN has not been contacted by the Department of Justice, Apple, or Google. ATN will protect its customers and their identifying data to the absolute extent possible under U.S. law. And, it will not provide any information regarding the identity of our customers to any third party unless specifically required by law.

    The article said ATN is not under investigation and I don't agree with DOJ tactic there is probably another way for them to find out how they are getting outside the US. A blanket lets look at "everyone" is not the way to do it in regards to privacy.

    I have this gut feeling Apple and google would be willing give up the info since you know, guns or in this case gun accessories.
