Own a rifle? Got a scope to go with it? The U.S. government might soon know who you are, where you live and how to reach you.

That’s because the government wants Apple and Google to hand over names, phone numbers and other identifying data of at least 10,000 users of a single gun scope app, Forbes has discovered. It’s an unprecedented move: Never before has a case been disclosed in which American investigators demanded personal data of users of a single app from Apple and Google. And never has an order been made public where the feds have asked the Silicon Valley giants for info on so many thousands of people in one go.

According to an application for a court order filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on September 5, investigators want information on users of Obsidian 4, a tool used to control rifle scopes made by night-vision specialist American Technologies Network Corp. The app allows gun owners to get a live stream, take video and calibrate their gun scope from an Android or iPhone device. According to the Google Play page for Obsidian 4, it has more than 10,000 downloads. Apple doesn’t provide download numbers, so it’s unclear how many iPhone owners could be swept up in this latest government data grab.

If the court approves the demand, and Apple and Google decide to hand over the information, it could include data on thousands of people who have nothing to do with the crimes being investigated, privacy activists warned. Edin Omanovic, lead on Privacy International’s State Surveillance program, said it would set a dangerous precedent and scoop up “huge amounts of innocent people’s personal data.”

I call 3D chess.

I have it on the best authority - the best - that "Trump is the only thing keeping this country from being disarmed" ...



EDIT: Or it might be that the deep state is just being made to feel comfortable ...

"You must spread some Reputation around..."

But wouldn't that be Dark Matter Wormhole Chess as you've alluded to in the past? This maneuver is certainly more complicated than mere 3D Chess, don't you think?

But that's the beauty of it, you see. Sometimes, less is more ...

By now, the Deep State will be expecting some kind of Quantum Dark Energy Wormhole chess move. They'll be ready for it.

So when they get hit with this mere 3D chess maneuver, they'll be totally faked out. They won't know what to do! It's brilliant ...

Registration only leads to Confiscation. And those they will go after first is the Law Abiding Citizen, who is neither inclined nor determined to use any weapon they own to deprive others of their property. On the other hand, when only criminals have guns, those who own property with no means of defending said property will soon have that very property taken from them by the force and will of those who still have the guns. Thus, yet again, Gun Control IS Gun Violence.
 
Who in their cotton picking right mind would enable or even buy a sight that connects to the internet or in any way can be connected via an "app"?????
