Basically if one comes to places like this they don't want you armed.

WCBS 880 quotes Adams saying, “A three-year review of a social media profile would give an easy profile of a person who is not suitable to hold and possess a firearm.”

The social media/search engine background check would be seeking out certain forms of hate speech and other indicators that would be used to deny the exercise of Second Amendment rights to would-be gun buyers.

...and the ADL presumably gets to decide what constitutes "hate speech".

Roger that.

Such an "investigation" is difficult to impossible if you: 1) don't use "social media"; 2) don't use a real name online; 3) use a quality VPN.

Make no mistake: we ARE at war. It's just that we aren't fighting back.

So violating the first amendment rights makes it ok to violate the second amendment rights. Apparently two violations makes it all legal then?

Easily solved, if you have no social media presence, your application is rejected, as your thoughts become impossible to investigate.

Probably. No "social media" presence = Antisocial Personality Disorder = "Danger to the Community"

Be bland, be successful !
A phony "moderate" account might be a better move.

All part of noms de guerre. But don't get ridiculous, or it will look fake.

“We certainly want to make sure that we’re adding to the protections that we need to make sure that people that we’re putting handguns... in the possession, that they in fact are the people that are using them in the right way.”

Handguns should only be used to shoot other people.

Next question.

LMAO! ;D That is true, they are very bad for hunting generally. I guess they could have utility as polar bear protection. But the market share of that would be astoundingly small!
