Gun Pics and Image detecting Programs

I once thought that my information would be insignificant and lost in the torrent, but I am beginning to get some sense of how effective and efficient data mining can be. And once the data is mined, the findings repository is marketable and consequently vulnerable.

Among other things, this makes me wonder why THR has a thread called "What was the last gun you bought" with 11,000 entries.
Think for a moment who would be interested enough to go through all those entries, and what purpose it serves to keep that thread up and growing? Does anyone think it is not a potential liability which should be deleted? Just curious.

I know the law says all back ground check information is to be destroyed after a certain time period, but knowing the depth and breadth of the corruption in government, I sincerely doubt it. The recent actions of government towards the people in general and firearms owners in particular leads me to believe there is / a registry or registry of sorts where persons of power and influence can have access.
Yes, you may call me paranoid if you wish. I call it skeptical and untrusting of anything government related, especially where my 2nd amendment rights are concerned.

There are likely ways around that particular law. I know that in my state, you can get a record sealed by the court and are 100% in the right to say you've never been convicted of a crime.
But the agency who made the arrest can retain their own database and if they are to check the official criminal record before sealing, they are under no obligation to destroy their own record.

Potential liability yes. Deleted, no.
For folks who live in states where private party sales are still legal, what we've posted on the 'net today doesn't guarantee what guns we still have next week.
For folks who live in communist states that require registration, they already know everything you own (unless you're on here bragging about illicit purchases)

I haven't been on facebook since they decided that they're better qualified to decide for everyone else which constitutional rights are acknowledgeable.

Post something that the Moderators feel is inappropriate here and see what happens. It can be something deemed very appropriate on some other forum, or even to the general public, but yet the post will be deleted and you will be reprimanded. As I said in my first post to this thread. Their house, their rules. You walk in, you abide by them. Don't want to abide, don't come in. Facebook and THR are privately owned and do not parallel the government.

I agree that they are not govt owned, but they are publicly owned....just a minor little point. I absolutely think that those two companies parallel one party of the govt.

What's a face book precious? Is it crunchy? Is it wriggly?

Facebook called the FBI on me last year for some memes and jokes I posted to a gun group.

I consulted a lawyer on that one. His exact phrase was "they cooked up a big nothing-burger."

And your lawyer did nothing

And your lawyer did nothing

Yes, because the FBI decided from the get-go that there was no case.
