Breaking: @CampaignLegal has uncovered emails showing gun makers and retailers turned over gun owners’ personal consumer information to Cambridge Analytica for the purpose of (likely illegally) influencing elections via a massive gun registry run by Trump’s political allies!

Here’s Matt Oczkowski on a $3.5M+ Cambridge Analytica project for the US gun industry’s trade ass’n.

Gunmakers & sellers were to turn over data on millions of gun owners to CA.

“I can’t emphasize how big of a deal this is for us,” wrote Oczkowski (who now works for Trump 2020).

1. The corruption runs deep.

2. This really is a big story.

3. This is data many states are not allowed to compile to comply with concealed carry laws.

Second Amendment fanciers always screamed about not getting on databases to presumably prevent Democrats from easily taking their guns.

4. If my information was passed on w/o my consent, do I have grounds for a class action suit?

If Turner Sporting Goods participated, I’m going to contact an attorney that handled one against CR England.
