Call it what it really is - a backdoor registry.

Guns, books, contraceptives... whatever an oppressive government may be interested in having a registry of, they have one by default once anonymous payments are destroyed.

Guns, books and contraceptives. Great list.

You forgot 3d printers.

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah. Recent court records suggested the feds do (or did at one point) request purchase records of 3D printers. So those probably are on a list.
