“Investigation targets”…?
While we’re told it’s “a standalone system,” that last bit makes me wonder if I was far off on my speculation on terror watchlists, and specifically that finding they’re on one may be the tip-off that they’ve been made and to get out of Dodge…

If they’re not afraid to violate the Second Amendment, why would tyrants worry about ignoring the First, Fourth, and Fifth?
Hemani did not rule out Section 922(g)(3) charges when the government presents additional evidence that a defendant poses a danger to public safety. But prior to Hemani, prosecutors typically did not do that. The question now is how federal courts should deal with such prior convictions: Should they simply be vacated, or should the government get another chance to offer evidence that would meet Hemani’s new requirements?

I’m all for punishing the hell out of people who make the choice to misoperate a firearm, or car, or anything while intoxicated and then threaten and/or harm the innocent.

As to the reasons for this rising extremism, he argued that “military institutions tend to become more conservative and isolated from civilian society” and that “these conservative tendencies are constantly reinforced, and young military members can be easy prey for the extreme right-wing groups that relate through similar conservative ideology. Unfortunately, the United States Criminal Code and the Uniform Code of Military Justice do not currently provide the tools to deal with this crisis, as they do not treat domestic extremism as a specific criminal offense,” he wrote, adding, “Codifying domestic extremism as a punitive article under the military code would provide a means for commanders to adequately address the rising tide of domestic extremism.” [More]

The masters he serves are intent on purging Oath Keepers and ensuring all orders, no matter how unlawful will be obeyed.
