The National Rifle Association is investigating reports that a leading federal agent proposed using license-plate readers to scan vehicles at gun shows as part of a gun-trafficking crackdown.
The plan was included in an internal Justice Department email that was among a series of Drug Enforcement Administration documents revealing that the government is stockpiling a vast national database of license plates, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Justice Department, which is in charge of the DEA, said that the planned spying program at gun shows was put forward in 2009, but it was turned down by management and never went any further.

Anybody want some Florida property? Excellent building lots in the Everglades. Cash sales only...
The government would never spy on the citizens...
Seems to me if some people trafficking in illegal gun sales are getting their wares from gun shows, then that tactic would seem to be appropriate, even though I am a staunch supporter of guns rights and the second amendment. The thugs are getting their guns from somewhere. They seem to be well armed and they are not buying them legally.
