The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms marked Valentine’s Day by encouraging ex-lovers to grass each other up over “illegal gun activity” for “fun”.
Yes, really.
The ATF used Twitter to try to get jilted partners to rat on one another.
“Valentine’s Day can still be fun even if you broke up,” stated the tweet. “Do you have information about a former (or current) partner involved in illegal gun activity? Let us know, and we will make sure it’s a Valentine’s Day to remember! Call 1-888-ATF-TIPS or email ATFTips@atf.gov.”

How charming.
The text was accompanied by an image, on which was written, “Got an ex who buys or sells guns illegally? We would love to meet and treat them to a Valentine’s Day surprise!”
Under the Biden administration, both the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have called on Americans to report their own family members to the feds if they see signs of “radicalization.”

As we highlighted last week, the DHS issued a new terrorism bulletin in response to concerns over “conspiracy theories” and “misleading narratives.”
A previous bulletin even suggested that Americans who are angry at COVID lockdown rules or who express concerns about election integrity are potential extremist threats.
The American government has clearly identified its number one enemy; The American people.
