Backdoor gun control? I don't know what else it could be.

From the Blaze article:

According to Forbes, the Department of Justice filed a court order on September 5 ordering both Google and Apple to give up names, phone numbers, and IP addresses of everyone who downloaded the app since Aug. 1, 2017. The document is now sealed, but Forbes managed to view it while it was briefly publicly available.According to a snippet from the court order published by Forbes, the government hopes to use this data to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track down illegal weapons exports to Canada, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong.

This pattern of unlawful, attempted exports of this rifle scope in combination with the manner in which the ATN Obsidian 4 application is paired with this scope manufactured by Company A supports the conclusion that the information requested herein will assist the government in identifying networks engaged in the unlawful export of this rifle scope through identifying end users located in countries to which export of this item is restricted.

In addition to any potential weapons exporters, who may or may not be included in this data, the government will be getting the personal information of thousands of other people.

Our government has no business collecting this kind of data on American citizens. It is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

A free society does not have government spying on her citizenry.
